The organization said in a post on its Telegram page: “The Russian Space Systems Company, affiliated with our organization, has developed the main components of the radar that operates in the (X) band designated for Earth remote sensing satellites. This equipment will expand Russia’s capabilities in developing radar satellite constellations.”

The Foundation indicated that the aforementioned equipment will be used in the new Kondor-FKA radar satellites, and that such satellites can monitor the Earth’s surface 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in all weather conditions, and this is important for monitoring cloudy areas in Russia and the world. These satellites can also be relied upon to monitor construction and infrastructure construction, monitor the Arctic regions and hard-to-reach areas, and evaluate emergency situations that may occur. Caused by natural disasters.

Russia had launched Kondor-FKA satellites No. 1 and 2 in 2023 and 2024, and on July 7, the system of these satellites actually entered service, and the Roscosmos Foundation announced that work is also underway to develop satellites No. 3 and 4 of these satellites.

Roscosmos indicated last August that the Kondor-FKA satellites are working excellently in orbit, and that satellite No. 2 was able, last July, to document more than 500 images and transfer more than 600 gigabytes of data to Earth.
