Glavkosmos is an official distributor of the Earth remote sensing data acquired by the Russian orbital satellite constellation.
According to the Russian law “On space activities”, Earth observation from space is one of the main areas of space activities of Russia and the enterprises of the State Space Corporation “Roscosmos”. To solve the widest range of customer tasks - from natural resources and emergency monitoring to forest and environment management, monitoring of agriculture and construction sites - data from the Russian orbital constellation of Earth remote sensing spacecraft are used. With that, a full cycle of operations is provided: imaging in various modes, satellite data receiving, image processing, data analysis and decrypting, provision of special information products and services based on Earth observation data.
The data acquired by the Russian constellation that includes Resurs-P, Kanopus-V, and Aist-2D satellites have successfully proved effective, they are in demand both in the Russian and international markets.

Real-time monitoring
Kanopus-V-IK is the second type of spacecraft of the Kanopus-V satellite constellation designed for real-time monitoring of natural and man-made emergencies:
- monitoring of man-made and natural emergencies, including natural hydrometeorological disasters;
- detection of forest fire bodies with an area of 25 m2, large emissions of pollutants into the environment;
- monitoring of agricultural activities, natural (including water and coastal) resources;
- land management;
- observation of specific areas of the Earth surface;
- mapping;
- updating of topographic maps.

- Generating and updating of the geographical base and site drawings.
Emergencies
Real-time emergency monitoring:
- identification of fire hotspots and flood monitoring;
- simulations of emergency prevention and mitigation.
Ice conditions
- Ice cover assessment.
- Detection of large ice fields, cracks (faults), grounded ice hummocks, hummock ridges, open water patches, icebergs and their parameters, as well as surveillance of ice degradation and beginning of melting.
- Detection of dangerous ice formations.
Marine monitoring
- Monitoring of the number and locations of sea vessels at seaports, high sea traffic areas.
- Monitoring of populated fishing areas to identify the positioning of fishing vessels (up to large-size small vessels).
Ecology
- Monitoring of pollution and environment degradation.
- Identification of illegal solid waste fields.
- Monitoring of water preserved zones and protected areas.
- Monitoring of mechanical and biological pollution of sea coastal waters, monitoring of suspended matter traces from river mouths, large pollution sources, zones of water eutrophication.
Natural resourses
Forest management
- Natural resource survey.
- Updating of mapping data for new field infrastructure design.
- Identification of areas with illegal use of natural resources with precise definition of the boundaries and areas of disturbed territories.
- Detection of illegal deforestation, identification of affected areas after fires, windfalls.
Construction
- Monitoring of construction and reconstruction sites, including power supply facilities and roads at various phases: site preparation; earthwork, including laying of communication lines and foundation work; arrangement of adjacent areas.
- Obtaining of data on the availability of construction equipment, soil subsidence and landslides within construction sites.
