A representative of the Gonets Satellite System indicated that the Gonets-M1 system is being created to meet the needs of the country. "The orbits were not chosen by chance - they are polar: an inclination of 82 degrees, since all of Russia is located above 50 degrees north latitude. We chose a low altitude - 1.5 thousand km. In order to have continuous communication, two conditions are necessary: ​​first, that the spacecraft that fly over the territory of Russia, one after another, overlapping (one flies away, and the other flies in), and second, regional stations must catch the spacecraft when albania whatsapp number database one flies away from the zone, and the other flies in. A group consisting of four planes of eight devices will ensure continuous transition from one spacecraft to another. The seven stations have an approximate visibility zone of 4.5 thousand km, if you draw a circle. For Russia, this will be not only land, but also the Northern Sea Route," clarified a representative of the Gonets Satellite System and pointed out that the new Gonets-M1 is not a story about broadband Internet access - This is another system, which is an analogue of the American company GlobalStar, which owns a group of low-orbit satellites, and that it will be able to partially replace the world satellite operator Iridium, whose coverage occupies 100% of the Earth. "In Russia, before this, there was only Iridium in handset communications, and here we are doing classic import substitution," said a representative of the Gonets Satellite System.

that the deployment of the ground communications complex of any satellite system should proceed slightly ahead of the deployment of the satellite segment. "We plan that by the beginning of 2029 the ground complex of the system with the Gonets-M1 spacecraft will be fully deployed, and by the end of the same year the orbital group will be fully deployed," said Sergei Prokhorov.

He noted that the system being created with the Gonets-M1 satellites has characteristics that will provide data transmission services in the global service area. "For the territory of Russia, the system will provide satellite telephony and data transmission services without interruptions, that is, at any point on the map, the subscriber will not need to wait for the satellite to appear, the connection will be online. In the rest of the world, depending on the latitude, this can be either an online channel or with a delay of up to several minutes. Possible difficulties when entering the global market may arise in two aspects. Firstly, obtaining frequency permits in another country. This depends on the political climate in relations with the country where the provision of services will be planned. Secondly, we cannot fail to take into account the priority of servicing Russian consumers, for whom the use of a domestic satellite system will be important or necessary. This is not a difficulty, but a question of planning the distribution of communications resources, and in principle we are also targeting the foreign market," said Sergei Prokhorov.

KA-Internet shareholder Sergey Pekhterev believes that the Gonets M1 system is much more complex than the Gonets artificial Earth satellites (AES), which date back to the USSR. "For Gonets-M, many problems need to be solved, having determined the availability of stable financing. In general, looking at other announced Roscosmos projects, a shift in the deadlines to the right is quite possible. Not many systems have left Russia, and in the market niche of the future, Gonets-M1 will be able to replace GlobalStar," noted Sergey Pekhterev.
