ONEWEB satellites – in visibility area of GRC

Baikonur cosmodrome on August 22, 2021, a launch of the Soyuz-2.1b carrier missile was held with the Frigate accelerated block and 34 ONEWB spacecraft. State Rocket Center named after Academician V.P. Makeev (part of Roscosmos State Corporation) ensured the reception of telemetry information of start-up and flight through a complex of technical means (CCC) “Miass”.

According to the General Director, General Designer GRC Makeeva, Academician RAS Vladimir Degtyar, the trajectory of the launch vehicle flight extended along the Ural Range. The visibility zone of the Miass began from 192 seconds (at a distance of 900 km) and lasted until 627 seconds (at a distance of 1,300 km). The main task of Miassic specialists – ensuring the duplication of telemetric information on the active site for Baikonur – successfully completed.

In the visibility zone, Miass was also the second round for checking the possibility of receiving a distance of 2,200 km. On such a distance, telemetry information was accepted for the first time, in experimental order. Thus, the data was made in full of excellent quality on both turns of the involvement.

In the temporary interval between the turns for the Baikonur cosmodrome, an entry received on the first twist is also broadcast. According to the experts of the Holding “Russian Space Systems” (enters Roscosmos), the use of Miass CCC has shown themselves from a positive side, and such work will be planned in the future.
