The experimental space satellite “SF-D-D”, which belongs to the federal project “with a device from this program entering orbit, has completed all the necessary flight tests.
The current project supports the creation of orbital constellations of special satellites that will engage in remote sensing of the Earth, as well as offer broadband Internet access both in Russia and in foreign satellites. Plans for the implementation of the “Sphere” will include 600 shots.
