| Description | Zorkiy-2M (NORAD 57177 / COSPAR 2023-091M) is a Russian Earth-observation (multispectral optical) satellite, part of the Zorkiy-2M remote-sensing constellation by Sputnix Group. The system is based on a 12U CubeSat platform (24 kg class), designed for ~2.5 m/px imaging with a swath width of at least 11 km. The payload provides 4 spectral channels (RGB + near-IR), with published spectral ranges of 450–520, 530–590, 630–690 and 760–900 nm, and supports “route” imaging operations. The operator lists data transfer rates up to 1 GB/s and an intended orbit altitude range of 450–600 km (SSO-type LEO). |
