Summary

First modernized data station for EOS-O system now operational.
New station will speed up information reception from spacecraft.
EOS-O spacecraft prototype will be ready by end of 2026.

The first modernized data communication station for Russia's EOS-O Earth Remote Sensing (ERS) space system has been successfully commissioned. This upgrade is part of a larger project aimed at creating geographically distributed stations to improve redundancy and data reception speed from spacecraft.

The new station is specifically designed to receive targeted information and telemetry in the X-band frequency range. This advanced solution is expected to substantially lower the operational costs associated with ground segments of space systems, while increasing reliability and enabling simultaneous data reception and spacecraft control.

According to plans, the prototype EOS-O spacecraft is scheduled for manufacturing by the end of 2026. This development is seen as a significant contribution to Russian cosmonautics and the establishment of ground infrastructure for satellite constellations, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs for satellite systems.
