Cosmonautics. "Killer whale": a sharp eye (2017)

The Kasatka-R radar complex is being tested at the Moscow Research Institute of Precision Instruments.

It got its name in honor of the swift-winged and sharp-sighted village swallow, able to see from a height the smallest details on the surface of the earth.

This is how the space radar, which will be installed on the new remote sensing satellite "Obzor-R" of the Samara RCC "Progress", will work in any weather and time of day.

The employees of the Research Institute of TP tell about their brainchild: head of the department Alexander Kovalenko, engineer of the 1st category Maxim Bulygin, researcher Maxim Miloserdov.
