Electro-L N3
Electro-L N3 is the third satellite in Russia's Electro-L geostationary operational meteorology programme, operated by Roshydromet. The satellite launched 24 December 2019 and is stationed at 76 degrees East geostationary orbit, providing full-disc meteorological imaging coverage over the Eastern Hemisphere.[1]
The primary Earth-observation payload is the MSU-GS multispectral spin-scan imager, which supports atmospheric motion vector retrieval, sea surface temperature estimation, and broadband radiation monitoring. Additional payloads include a data collection system, a search-and-rescue relay, and the GGAK-E space-weather monitoring package, which carries charged-particle instruments and solar radiation sensors. WMO OSCAR records the mission status as operational.[2]
The satellite operates at 35,786 km altitude in geostationary orbit.[1] WMO records an expected end-of-life date of at least 2029.[1]
