The Russian Federal Space Agency has already launched high resolution the Resurs-P 2 scientific spacecraft and is continuing to develop a national system for processing scientific data from satellites.

Russia will launch four Earth research satellites in 2015, the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) reports in a statement.

"In 2015, Russia will continue to develop its system for processing data from its Earth research satellites. Four more spacecraft are planned to be launched. The Resurs-P 3 satellite has a resolution of more than 1 meter, and Meteor-M 2-1 has a resolution of 50 to 70 meters, a capture range of 1,000 kilometers and is able to globally monitor Russia's territory for 72 hours. Kanopus-V-IK is equipped with infrared with infrared monitors. The Electro-L 2 geostationary meteorological satellite has equipment for global Earth monitoring," the statement says.

The government's decision to declassify Earth sensing data from domestic satellites contributed to the improvement of the quality of the imaging, Roscosmos says.
