“Today, in the course of testing the latest models of space technology, a close-up survey of one of the domestic satellites was carried out using specialized equipment of a small spacecraft,” the Defense Ministry quoted RIA Novosti as saying.

As noted, valuable information was obtained on the technical condition of the inspected object.

At the end of May, it was reported that the Fregat booster block successfully put into orbit a Russian military satellite launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome. According to the Ministry of Defense, the launch of the Soyuz-2.1b rocket and the launch of the spacecraft into orbit took place as usual.
