The design team plans to build two satellites. “We plan to connect two test satellites equipped with a plasma engine, which will then be used for space experiments,” said Nikolai Ludzedev, chairman of the Citronics Group.
The task of the plasma machine is to scatter the satellites launched as a group and deliver them to different places in the Earth’s orbit to increase the controlled area.
Nikolai Ludgidev explained that satellites can perform a variety of tasks, including remote sensing of the Earth, disaster warning, shipping, data collection on aircraft, maintaining Internet connectivity to remote meteorological stations, and other tasks.
