Ekupheleni kweminyaka eyishumi ezayo, iRussia ihlela ukuthumela umlaza omusha wemikhumbi-mkhathi ye-geodetic, njengoba kubikwe i-RIA Novosti.
Sikhuluma ngohlelo lwe-Geo-IK-3, oluzoba ukuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kwe-Geo-IK-2 satellite complex. Lokhu kwakamuva kuhloselwe ukwakha inethiwekhi ye-geodetic enembayo ephezulu ohlelweni lokuxhumanisa i-geocentric, kanye nokuxazulula inani lezinkinga ezisetshenziswayo ezidinga ukunqunywa okusheshayo kwezixhumanisi zamaphuzu aphansi.
Ukwethulwa komkhumbi-mkhathi wokuqala we-Geo-IK-2, owenziwe ngo-February 1, 2011, kwaphetha ngengozi: isathelayithi yethulwa emzileni ongaklanyiwe ngenxa yamaphutha ekusebenzeni kwesiteji esiphezulu. Idivayisi yesibili neyesithathu yomndeni yethulwe ngempumelelo ngoJuni 4, 2016 nangomhla zingama-30 ku-Agasti 2019.
Umlaza we-Geo-IK-3 uzofaka ingqikithi yamasathelayithi amahlanu. Lawa, ikakhulukazi, amadivaysi amabili e-altimetry, okungukuthi, ukulinganisa ubude bomhlaba: azokwethulwa ku-orbit ngo-2027 no-2029.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ohlelweni lwe-Geo-IK-3 kuhlelwe ukuthi kwakhiwe i-apparatus eyodwa ye-gradiometry (ukunqunywa kwama-gradients) kanye namasathelayithi amabili we-gravimetry (isilinganiso senani elibonisa inkambu yokudonsela phansi komhlaba). Ukwethulwa kwawo wonke lawa masathelayithi kuhlelelwe u-2028.
