#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. The second Arktika-M satellite has been put into normal operation after testing. Now two spacecraft continuously monitor the Northern Sea Route (NSR).
The satellites monitor the hydrometeorological situation, signal relays, as well as data from automatic measuring platforms of Roshydromet.
With the help of satellites, NSR users will receive the most up-to-date information – data is updated every 30 minutes. Carriers will be able to more accurately assess the ice and environmental conditions and plot the safest route, the Northern Sea Route Telegram channel writes.
It is planned that by 2031, two more satellites will be added to the orbital constellation for monitoring the Arctic. In parallel, the design of the new generation Arktika-MP devices will be carried out.
It became known earlier that the NSR in some areas requires dredging. Investments in the Northern Sea Route could become the most profitable in Russia.
