"Off, my 74 hryvnias in space!". Why did we buy the Iceye satellite for the Armed Forces
They never launched rockets into space, did not buy satellites, but the level of their examination goes crazy so that without waiting for the extended press release regarding the Iceye satellite, they were in a pre -trustee to seek betrayal in the case of a historic Casey state. I do not surprise the Sharia, which is lying in every word, he has such a job - to work on a Russian audience and to eliminate the achievements of the Ukrainian volunteer movement.
But when such messages are carried by those who seem to be patriots, I do not quite understand who you try for. While millions of Ukrainians rejoiced that the Volunteer Fund had provided the country with space technologies that Ukraine never owned and which Russia has no, you were playing politics and trying to depreciate both the work of the Pritula Foundation team and anyone who contributed to the fact that the agreement had occurred. I'm sorry for you.
You can not rejoice for someone's success except your own and, unfortunately, even the war has not caused you to understand that now there are no "my" or "yours", but there are only our success! Therefore, I will now leave you alone with your misery, and for all those who are proud of our joint achievement, a little details about the agreement.
Why Ukraine and the Armed Forces of the Finnish company Iceye possession of this satellite allows Ukraine to receive exclusive pictures continuously, guaranteed and in 24/7 mode in all weather conditions, despite the rain, snow, fog, smoke and dust, day and night. These pictures help to plan the operations better, and therefore more efficiently destroy the enemy.
It was bought or rented according to the agreement, the Ukrainian side receives both the satellite and access to the constellation constellation database. When the paid time of access to the database, this satellite remains full of Ukraine - until the expiration of its functionality in orbit. Further re -registration of the satellite in the relevant registers for Ukraine is provided.
It is a legal procedure that takes some time, because it requires compliance with the necessary standards, amendments to the registers, etc. The satellite owner is Ukraine, and it is the Ukrainian side that determines what and when it removes, as well as in what format and spectrum we get the data. That is, we fully possess, dispose of and use pictures of this satellite. According to the agreement, the satellite is insured.
If something happens to it before the guaranteed life is completed, the seller company undertakes to give the Ukrainian side an identical satellite. How it works 1. Unlike an optical satellite, which can only work in the afternoon and in the clean sky, the SAR-satellite acts as a lantern-it "illuminates" the surface of the earth with its own radio waves. Therefore, there are no obstacles to the shooting, night, clouds, rain, fog, smoke. SAR-satellite "punches" all its radio waves. 2.
Frequency of spans. The satellite flies above our territory twice a day. The satellite images of our country receives only the Ukrainian side as the satellite owner, so access is exclusive. When the satellite does not fly over the territory of Ukraine, we can receive data through access to the constellation of SAR-satellites of Iceye. This ensures continuous data. 3. Resolution. From 0. 5 meters to 1 meter depending on the area of coverage.
One shot can cover an area of up to 225 square kilometers. 4. The speed of receiving data. Foreign partners really provide Ukraine with satellite images, but with delay. Due to the fact that Ukraine has bought the satellite, the process of transmitting data from the moment of the image to the moment of receiving it directly by the military units is reduced to several hours. Under war, the speed of information is a significant advantage.
