Russia launches Lotos-S satellite that can intercept radio signals everywhere
- 9 years ago
Russia successfully launched its second Lotos-S satellite into orbit on Thursday. The satellite is part of the country’s Liana programme, which is designed to modernise its electronic signals intelligence capabilities.
The Lotos-S satellite, weighs 6,000kg, is powered by solar panels and has four deployable instrument clusters at one end of the satellite, NASASpaceflight.com reported.
The satellite will operate in a low Earth orbit. It can intercept radio communications around the world, which could be used to locate and target military installations and vehicles of potential enemies, SEN reported.
The Liana programme includes another satellite, called Pion-NKS, which is scheduled to be launched next year. The radar-carrying Pion-NKS satellite could be used by the Russian Navy to locate and target enemy ships, reported by Sen.
