High-resolution satellite imagery received from the Aist-2D satellite by Russian Laboratory Complex for Satellite Monitoring

Image of high resolution from the Russian satellite “Aist-2D” was received by the Laboratory complex for satellite monitoring “LoReTT” (LoReTT – Local Real Time Tool). The spacecraft “Aist-2D” transmitted data of the territory of Perth city (Australia) on June 15, 2018. It was the first time when such detailed image (spatial resolution of 2 m) of the Earth from space acquired on antenna that does not have rotational device traditional for such technologies, and instead of this feed is moved above the fixed antenna dish. This approach made it possible to simplify the design of the antenna, making it more mobile, universal and substantially cheaper than analogs. Note that previously, low-resolution data was successfully received from Terra and Aqua satellites.
