Soyuz Rocket With Seven Satellites Lifts Off From Baikonur

A Soyuz-2.1b burn via a few satellites aboard has lifted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan July 8. The burn orbited seven satellites which sit astride a specially Meteor-M Nation remote sensing opening intentional for meteorological research and ozone and radiation monitoring in the near-Earth space. It weighs 2,778 kg and is built to occupation for five living. It was produced by the VNIIEM Homework and Labor Circle "Void Monitoring Systems, Know-how and Field and Electromechanical Complexes" which makes space monitoring and information power systems. The host of the Meteor-M 2 satellite was chief lay down for 2013 but consequently was tardy until June 28, 2014 and in the end stirred to July 8 due to ceremonial tribulations in the Fregat infusion.

The insignificant satellite Relek was produced by the Lavochkin Homework and Labor Bid which specializes in age group unmanned space exploration vehicles. The satellite is intentional for studying high-altitude electrical discharges, atmospheric phenomena and electron downpour from the Earth's radiation belts.

Russia's first private spacecraft DX1 prepared by the Moscow simple neatness Dauria Aerospace was built in the Skolkovo technology halt to guard the busy yourself of ships. This is the first such satellite in Russia.

The US satellite SkySat-2 guts tug and cope with data and relocate high-definition images and videos.

The British satellite TechDemoSat-1 guts guard the surface of the ocean floor and study slight space.

Other British craft UKube-1 is a 4 kg microsatellite. It guts weigh up the near-Earth space and its impact on spaceships.

The Norwegian satellite AISSat-2 is a 7 kg nano-satellite built to guard the busy yourself of ships and discriminate them.
