Satellite: Meteor-M N1

Satellite details

Acronym	Meteor-M N1
Full name	Meteor-M Number 1
WIGOS Station Identifier	---
Satellite Description	1st flight unit of the Meteor-M series. 2nd of the Meteor-3M programme. Main mission: operational meteorology. Substantial contribution to land observation and space weather.
Mass at launch	2900 kg	Dry mass	2700 kg
Power	2000 W
Data access link	http://planet.iitp.ru/english/meteor/meteor_1_data_eng.htm
Data access information	Real-time availability of MSU-MR, MTVZA-GY and SSPD by HRPT. Real-time availability of selected images and other data by LRPT. Real-time availability of DCP messages by on-board data relay. Note: Global Level-1 data not available
Orbit	Sunsynchronous orbit	Altitude	826 km
ECT	09:30 desc

Space agency	RosHydroMet , Roscosmos
Status	Inactive
Details on Status (as available)	MSU-MR was functional with limitations (calibration issues and higher noise level in the IR channels). MTVZA-GY instrument was functional with limitations due to failures of on-board memory and atmospheric sounding channels. Severjanin instrument non-operational. DCS was functional with limitations due to interferences to signals from ground sources. GGAK-M was operational with significant limitations. LRPT was functional with limitations due to information compression errors. Finally, the stabilisation system failed on 23 September 2014 and the instruments could longer be operated.
Launch	17 Sep 2009	EOL	23 Sep 2014
Last update:	2021-04-19
