Alexander Shatalov, Director of the Digitalization and Information Technology Department of the Northern Sea Route at the Rosatom State Corporation, named the transition to Russian sources of remote sensing data and overcoming dependence on foreign ones as a priority task. According to him, Russian sources are starting to appear, but the problem of "stitching" images and full coverage of the water area has to be solved. According to Alexander Shatalov, this task is not very relevant yet, but as traffic along the Northern Sea Route intensifies, its importance will grow, and the peak of demand is expected in seven to eight years. As a Rosatom representative warned, imagery suppliers need to be prepared to transmit large volumes lebanon whatsapp number database of data, but they can be reduced by providing intelligent services for processing remote sensing data. The business model of such services is close to that used by operators of commercial data centers.

but services based on them. But he also emphasized that the more data, the more services can be developed. At the same time, Alexander Katashov urged not to limit ourselves to the Russian market, but to enter foreign markets. He shared his experience of working in the Indian market, where Ctrl2GO has been present for more than five years with a service for analyzing the yield of major agricultural crops. Alexander Katashov announced the creation of a full-fledged farmer scoring service for the Russian and global markets. Another promising area where there is high demand, according to his assessment, is monitoring industrial emissions.

Vice President for Information Technology at AFK Sistema Sergey Tkachenko shared his experience of using satellite technologies in agriculture. According to his assessment, over the past five years there has been a major breakthrough in their use, which is due to price erosion. As Sergey Tkachenko recalled, the cost of autopilot technologies for agricultural machinery has fallen by three to four orders of magnitude since then. Also, in his opinion, improving the quality of remote sensing images has made it possible to successfully solve such problems as crop monitoring, control of insect pests and rodents, which has become very useful against the background of restrictions on the use of drones, which are traditionally used for such needs.

Deputy Head of the Federal Forestry Agency Vyacheslav Spirenkov stated that it is impossible to imagine work on early prevention of forest fires, planning of forest restoration measures and control of "illegal" logging without using remote sensing data. According to him, Rosleskhoz has almost completed work on creating a digital twin of the forest, and data collected using remote sensing was used to create the model.

Alexander Mikhailov, Head of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Center for Fisheries Monitoring and Communications System" of the Federal Agency for Fisheries, highly appreciated the role of digital and satellite technologies in the record catch achieved by the domestic fishing industry in 2023. At the same time, in August 2022, Russian fishermen, as the representative of the Federal Agency for Fisheries recalled, were cut off from foreign services due to sanctions, as a result, all 1,200 Russian and foreign fishing vessels that operated in the Russian economic zone ceased to be visible. But over the course of a year, according to Alexander Mikhailov, it was possible to create a full-fledged alternative due to the Yamal (operator Gazprom Space Systems), Gonets and Sputniks (operator OOO Satellite Innovative Space Systems, a subsidiary of Sitronics Space) groups
