Summary
RESURS-P 1, also known as Resurs-P No. 1, is an Earth observation satellite launched on June 25, 2013, from the Tyuratam Space Centre (TYMSC) using a Soyuz-2-1B launch vehicle from LC31 pad. The satellite has dimensions of 7.9 meters in length and 2.7 meters in diameter with a span of 13 meters. It weighs 5691 kilograms at launch and has a dry mass of 5600 kilograms. RESURS-P 1 is equipped with various instruments including HGeoton-L1, KShMSA, AIS-receiver, and Nuklon particle detector for cosmic rays observation. The satellite's power system consists of two deployable solar arrays and batteries, enabling it to conduct Earth observation and cosmic ray studies during its operational lifetime, which was expected to be 5 years. The spacecraft is owned by TSSKBP, the same entity that manufactured it.
