Highlights

– The design image of a low-orbital microsatellite platform, designed for solving problems of remote sensing of the Earth and disaster monitoring in the structure of paired structures and space groupings, is described

– The design justification is given and the main technical characteristics of the demonstration sample of the radar microsatellite platform are described

– The prospects for the practical use of interacting microsatellites based on the universal TWINSAT-DZ platform are presented

Abstract. A project was designed to create a universal low-orbit space platform that meets the requirements for satellite collaboration in paired structures (the “space duet”) for high-resolution radar imagery; constructing topographic maps and determining the movements of the Earth's surface to assess seismic hazard and prevent natural and man-made disasters; indication and determination of parameters of moving objects; building high-speed inter-satellite communication systems, etc.

Keywords: low-orbit space platform, interacting microsatellites, high resolution radar imaging, remote sensing.
