Specialists of the Scientific and Production Center “Small Spacecraft” (a resident of the TOP Zheleznogorsk) have developed and manufactured unique equipment for the Sphere project.
At the end of 2024, tests of two antenna posts of the regional satellite communications station for working with Marathon spacecraft were successfully completed. Antenna posts are the most important element of satellite communication stations, they are designed for receiving and transmitting satellite signals. According to the test results, the antenna posts were put into operation and approved for flight tests, and a decision was made on the possibility of their mass production. Currently, this equipment has no domestic analogues.
Sphere is one of the key projects of the Roscosmos State Corporation aimed at developing space information technologies and eliminating the so–called “digital divide”: providing Internet access via satellites where it is impossible or impractical to use other data transmission channels.
To date, NPC MKA is developing subscriber terminals and shipboard satellite communication stations, as well as ground-based instruments for measuring the characteristics of spacecraft payloads. The work is aimed at import substitution of high-tech equipment.
It should be recalled that an agreement has been signed between the Yenisei Siberia Development Corporation and Atom-TOR JSC, which is the management company of advanced development territories in closed administrative-territorial formations. Its subject is the interaction of the parties on the issues of attracting residents to the TOP “Zheleznogorsk”.
