RCC equipment for Satellites “Express-80” and “Express-103” completed tests

The on-board equipment of the command and measuring system of telecommunication satellites “Express-80” and “Express-103”, created by the holding “Russian Space Systems” (RCC, is included in the state corporation “Roskosmos”), was tested in orbit and commissioned FSUE “Space Communication”. These spacecraft provide ample opportunities for organizing communication services and digital broadcasting in Russia and CIS countries in various frequency ranges.

Customer of equipment – information satellite systems “named after academician M.F. Reshetnyova (enters Roscosmos) highly appreciated the onboard devices for the Satellites” Express-80 “and Express-103”, created in the RCC. New satellites derived in orbit In 2020, it will replenish and significantly expand the possibilities of a domestic orbital telecommunications group of communication and television broadcasting.

The on-board equipment of the command and measuring system and the ground control complex of the Express Space Activities, developed by the RCC specialists, allow you to maintain a bilateral connection of satellites with ground services, issue control commands to satellites and control their execution, taking telemetry information, and Also measure the current navigation parameters of spacecraft. The instrument of a command and measuring system provides a long term of active existence of express spacecraft, the minimum time of their work in orbit is 15 years.

Director of projects for the creation of team radio services – Deputy General Designer of the RCS Nikolai Bulgakov: “Today, four generations of equipment for telecommunication satellites” Express “have changed, digital information processing technologies came to replace the analog, and the actual existence has increased from 5 to 15 years. The long service life of the on-board equipment of the Express-80 and Express-103 system system is ensured by the use of complex and reliable technological solutions. Similar equipment for eight years has been successfully operating on Express-AM5 spacecraft, Express-AM6 and Express-AM8.

Satellites of the Express series are manufactured in the company “Information satellite systems” named after academician M.F. Reshetnyeva “By order of the Russian satellite telecommunications operator FSUE” Space Communications “in the interests of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation. These spacecraft are intended to ensure a wide range of communication services and broadcasting in Russia, ensuring fixed and mobile communications, the provision of services broadband broadband high-speed access to information resources and other applications.
