Roscosmos experts have developed new devices for filming from space silicon carbide. Now there is an opportunity to conduct from orbit not only photo-, but also video shooting. At the same time in very good quality. Let's talk more about the new invention.

The developers of the Schwabe enterprise, which is part of Roscosmos, began to create orbital scanning devices. The main material for their creation is silicon carbide. How is it notable?

Silicon carbide is a very durable material. It is resistant to high temperature and its differences. Scientists have found that silicon carbide is great for protecting equipment from external influences and deformation in space. Thanks to this, remote sounding of the Earth can be carried out continuously.

At the Lytkarinsky plant from silicon carbide, some elements of the new optical system are produced. A multi -zone scanning device will be able to shoot in high resolution. If earlier from space it was possible to observe only large -scale emergencies of a natural and meteorological nature, today less than 1 meter accounts for ultra -high spatial resolution. That is, orbital photo and video shooting will be detailed, with a high-quality image.

The unique Russian IT project SFERA on the eve of the release opened a collection of applications for registration. Read detailed information about the new digital ecosystem by the link.

The new optical system has compact dimensions, which allows you to install it on small satellites. Several dozen such satellites are planned to be made in the near future.

The new invention is a breakthrough in the world space industry. The use of silicon carbide will reduce the mass of the equipment to 120 kg. Previously, she reached half a ton. Due to the reduction in the mass, the cost of manufacturing, installing new equipment and, accordingly, launch of the rocket.

But do not you think that the closeness of the high -tech sector, which was often attributed to Soviet industry, has been preserved in Russia? Otherwise, how to explain such unexpected developments?
