New Russian satellites will monitor Earth from space.
Private satellites KOEN and "Kinosputnik-0.8" were launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome to specified orbits. The launch went smoothly.
The devices will take pictures with a resolution of 0.5 and 0.8 meters for monitoring infrastructure, agriculture, construction and use of the underground.
This is the first launch of private satellites in Russia, part of whose costs were reimbursed by the state within the framework of the national "Cosmos" project.
