Cosmonautics. Electro-L - fighter with fire (2015)

Lavochkin's NGO is preparing to send the second hydrometeorological satellite "Electro-L" to the Baikonur cosmodrome.

In the fall, it will be launched into orbit and will become an assistant to forecasters and rescuers.

The device will provide a multispectral survey of the Earth every half hour, and in case of detection of natural disasters - every 10 minutes.

Thanks to the high resolution of the images, it will be possible to detect forest fires at the earliest stage.

Ivan Moskatinyev and Gennady Eliseev talk about the satellite.
