The delegation of the Russian Federation represented by Roscosmos, Russian Space Systems, URSC - Scientific Research Institute of Space Instrument Engineering, Gonets Satellite System, Academician Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems Company took part in the videoconference of the 64th session of the Council of the International Program COSPAS-SARSAT (satellite search and rescue system) which took place from March 17 to March 26, 2021.

CSC-64/OPN was attended by over 200 delegates from 33 countries, as well as representatives of international organizations: the International Civil Aviation Organization, the European Commission, the European Organization for Meteorological Satellite, the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs.

One of the issues on the agenda was the maintenance and development of the COSPAS-SARSAT space segment as part of the low-orbit segment (Meteor-M spacecraft No. 2-2), the geostationary segment (Electro-L No. 2) and the medium-altitude orbital segment consisting of two Glonass-K satellites.

During the CSC-64/OPN, the Russian Federation announced the transfer to normal operation under the COSPAS-SARSAT system the low-orbit spacecraft Meteor-M No. 2-2 equipped with the COSPAS-SARSAT payload starting from March 23, 2021. In addition, the geostationary satellite Electro-L No. 2 with a repeater COSPAS-SARSAT was commissioned to normal operation on March 26, as well as the associated station for receiving and processing information in the city of Moscow (located on the territory of the Russian Space Systems company).

The Russian side also informed the Council of the COSPAS-SARSAT International Program about the launch of the Arktika-M satellite No. 1 with a KOSPAS-SARSAT repeater and a station for receiving and processing information from the Arktika-M series spacecraft deployed in Kaliningrad on February 28, 2021. For the first time in the history of the International Program, a COSPAS-SARSAT transponder-equipped spacecraft is to be used in a highly elliptical orbit.

The Council of the COSPAS-SARSAT Program highly appreciated the contribution of the Russian Federation to the development of the space segment of the COSPAS-SARSAT system.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
