Meteor-M 2-1 [VNIIEM]
Meteor-M satellites are a new generation of Russian meteorological satellites to replace the Meteor-3M series. The first two Meteor-M satellites will feature following instruments:
- MSU-MR - Low-resolution Multispectral Scanner for global and regional for cloud cover mapping
- KMSS-2 - multichannel scanning unit for Earth surface monitoring
- MTVZA-GYa - imager/sounder for Atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles, sea surface wind
- IKFS-2 advanced IR sounder for Atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles
- BRK SSPD - Data Collection System
- RK-SM-MKA - Modified Rescue Radio-complex
One initial Meteor-M 1 satellite was built, followed by the improved Meteor-M 2 series satellites.
Meteor-M 2-1 was launched on 28 November 2017 on a Soyuz-2-1b Fregat rocket, but was lost due to an upper stage problem.
Meteor-M 2-2 was successfully launched on 5 July 2019. On 18 December 2019, it suffered a collision with either debris or a micrometeorite, which slightly changed the orbit and sent it tumbling. Stabilization and communications were restored after a few days. The damage suffered is under investigation.
The Meteor-M 3 satellite was to have a largely modified configuration for an oceanographic mission, but was cancelled.
