Ukraine to launch Sich-2 earth observation satellite in October
The launch of Ukraine's Sich-2 earth observation satellite has been scheduled for October 2010, the press service of the National Space Agency of Ukraine (NSAU) has said.
According to the NSAU, Dnipropetrovsk-based Pivdenne Design Bureau, which developed the 350-kilogram satellite, is currently completing the tests of the Sich-2.
According to the Kosmotras international consortium, Ukraine's Sich-2 earth observation satellite will be launched into a solar-synchronous orbit in 2010 as part of a cluster launch of Ukrainian-Russian Dnepr rocket from the Yasny airbase (Orenburg region, Russia).
Apart from the Turkish and Ukrainian satellites, the NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X spacecraft of Britain's SSTL and the EduSat of the Rome University will be launched in the cluster.
The National Space Agency of Ukraine announced earlier that the Sich-2 satellite might become a part of the international group of remote Earth-sensing satellites together with Belarusian BelKA satellite and Egypt's EgyptSat-1, which was developed by Ukraine.
