Kanopus-ST 1

Kanopus-ST [NPO VNIIEM]

Kanopus-ST is a small Russian remote sensing satellite for ocean and weather research.

Kanopus-ST features a BIK-GYa-1 microwave radiometer with a swath of 2200 km and a spatial resolution of 12-160 km and a KMVD-E multispectral camera with a swath of 1000 km and a spatial resolution of 30-50 m.

Kanopus-ST was originally planned to be launched on a Kosmos-3M rocket, but with the retirement of this vehicle, it was moved to a Soyuz-2-1v Volga. After launch, Kanopus-ST failed to separate from the Volga upper stage.
