Each MSU sensor provides a 3-channel image in three

spectral bands. Thus, one and the same area of the
land/ocean surface is registered with a time interval t = 38.7
or 19.35 s. This results in a mutual shift of the image
registered inthreespectralchannelsaslargeas6048or3024
pixels.

Onboard radar is being designed with an active phaselocked antenna array in
order to perform radar multimode surveillance of stationary and moving on
land and marine targets and also for receiving data on the state of the land and
