The pre-сontractual arrangement covers the development of an earth remote-sensing system based on an upgraded version of the Kanopus-V1 (Canopus-B) observation satellite, Russia’s VNIIEM Corporation CEO Leonid Makridenko specified.
"The launch [of the system] on a Russian Soyuz carrier rocket is tentatively scheduled for 2018," Makridenko told reporters.
