Payload:
- Ultra-high resolution electro-optical instrumentation (EOI) will ensure multispectral and panchromatic images of the Earth surface for geotechnical and environmental monitoring of industrial facilities located throughout the Russian Federation including hard-to-reach regions;
- Satellite gas analyzer (SGA) will ensure prompt detection of sources of methane emissions in the atmosphere as well as determination of their intensity.
The SMOTR-V Spacecraft will ensure timely detection of methane emissions by high spectral resolution imaging in the infrared range with reference to geospatial coordinates and quantitative determination of emissions .
