Geo-IK-2 is a Russian geodesy mission to deliver precise three-dimensional maps of the Earth’s surface and gravitational data for use in scientific studies and military applications. This satellite was supposed to be the first one of the two-spacecraft system, however it was not delivered to an operational orbit due to upper stage underperformance.
Sun-Synchronous OrbitElektro-L is a series of meteorological satellites developed for the Russian Federal Space Agency by NPO Lavochkin.
