RESHETNEV JSC specialists have developed a new unified platform for spacecraft weighing up to 1,000 kg. The first spacecraft built on this platform will be the promising personal communication satellite Gonets-M1
The platform has a quadrilateral trapezoid shape, allowing for economical satellite placement under the launch vehicle fairing and enabling the launch of up to four satellites into low circular orbits with one launch. The power supply system ensures that up to 2 kW is allocated for payload operation.
The design and layout of the new platform allows for satellite serial production while maintaining the necessary assembly time and modular production principle.
Implementing this development in prospective spacecraft will increase their reliability, shorten satellite manufacturing time, and reduce work costs.
