Avant Space

Avant-Space develops the series of micro spacecraft since 2016. Kronus-O are the satellites for three-channel remote sensing in the visible and near infrared range with 22 meters resolution. This resolution allows to unite the data from MKA-O satellites with the data from US spacecraft Landsat and British DMC group. Common resolution and spectrosco... pic data give information about the Earth's surface with high update rate. The project includes the development of the group of 8 satellites of the Kronus-O series which can survey the whole dry land during one week. The satellites have multispectral cameras with Nir, G and B ranges. This combination will allow to monitor with the high accuracy the changes in the planet's vegetation cover using the NDVI algorithm. The opportunities of the satellite group in the global Earth's surface scope will make these data useful in every point of the planet. The survey results can be applied in agriculture and forestry, meteorology, the research of climate changes and man's impact, the informational support for emergency service and disaster management. The Kronus-O satellites are equipped with the block of cameras designed by Avant-Space and an S-band transmitter for downlink with speed up to 40 Mb/s.Read More
