n July 2023 by Yuri Borisov, Director General of the Roscosmos State Corporation. In October, Roscosmos began creating the group. According to Yuri Borisov, the system will include a broad and in-depth ground-based network for receiving and processing information.

"Griffin" will consist of 136 satellites. The concept of the group is based on a new understanding of the approach to space systems. This is the emergence of a single brazil whatsapp resource information space, consisting of space, ground infrastructure and a multi-satellite information platform capable of processing petabytes of data generated from space, forming products and services close to real-time conditions in the field of Earth remote sensing (ERS).

"The Griffin group will be included in the Sphere program after its next adjustment in 2023. The project is aimed at creating a multi-satellite system for remote monitoring of the Earth with observation-type spacecraft. This system will complement the Berkut ultra-high-detail monitoring group," Sergei Prokhorov, director of the department of promising programs and the Sphere project of the Roscosmos State Corporation, told a ComNews correspondent.

r and operator have not yet been determined: "The parameters and mechanisms of financing are currently at the approval stage in the relevant federal executive authorities. The contractor for the project will be determined based on the results of competitive procedures."

A representative of the press service of the commercial operator of remote sensing services "Terra Tech" told a ComNews correspondent that the company positively evaluates the project of launching the "Griffin" group: "For a country of the size of Russia, with an area of ​​more than 17 million square kilometers, the frequency of surveys is one of the key points. Therefore, data from a multi-satellite group will be in demand by federal and regional ministries and departments. First of all, we are talking about the Ministry of Agriculture and the Federal Forestry Agency, for which high frequency of monitoring is one of the most important parameters. Commercialization of data from this group is possible primarily in terms of automatic services using artificial intelligence (AI) and high-frequency analytics. In addition, we believe that the project should be considered in an international context. A group with a large number of satellites is capable of serving the interests of not only Russia, but also many other countries, carrying out macro-regional analysis, for example, in terms of monitoring crop yields and food security."

"The Griffin constellation should be considered as an infrastructure project aimed at increasing the frequency of updating information on changes occurring in the territory and with natural assets. This is a request that is always voiced by both government and commercial clients. Russia has not yet had a constellation with such a number of devices, providing such a scale and high frequency. Its creation will entail the development of means, information collection, storage systems and data stream processing, new algorithms and services for analyzing space photography. We proceed from the fact that the constellation will be supported for many years, will ensure the continuity and comparability of all images. This is critically important for the operation of automatic analysis services that we are developing for all user groups," added a representative of the Terra Tech press service.

The initiator and driver of the commercial project of the info-satellite system "Griffin" in the perimeter of "Roskosmos" was the leading institute of the state corporation TsNIIMash (Central Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering) in partnership with major universities of the country. Representatives of TsNIIMash did not answer the ComNews correspondent which universities are participating in the project.
