On March 31, a similar satellite, the Resurs-P Number 4, was launched into orbit aboard a Soyuz-2.1b rocket from Baikonur.
Sputnik brings you live coverage as the Russian Resurs-P satellite launches from Baikonur aboard the 2000th Soyuz-2.1b rocket, marking a significant milestone in space exploration. The satellite's journey into orbit is expected to take exactly 9 minutes and 23 seconds.
The Resurs-P satellites are capable of capturing Earth images with a resolution of 70 centimeters (27.5 inches). This high-resolution data is essential for monitoring pollution, assessing environmental degradation, exploring natural resources, evaluating ice conditions, and conducting emergency monitoring. Additionally, the imagery is invaluable for updating topographic and navigational maps.
