This was announced by the President of JSC Sitronics (Sitronics Group) Sergey Tkachenko. In November 2024, the company will double the AIS (automated information system) satellite constellation, bringing it to 52 devices. This will allow the Sitronics Group service to be filled with data and relevant information.
a ComNews correspondent that the company is developing a Russian AIS satellite constellation and a cloud service for satellite monitoring of shipping. By the end of india whatsapp resource October 2024, there were 28 SITRO-AIS satellites in orbit, and the company planned to launch 24 spacecraft with AIS equipment in November. Next year, Sitronics Group plans to increase the constellation to 80 devices. He noted that the expansion of the constellation will increase the volume, frequency and relevance of data.

"The SITRO-AIS spacecraft are low-orbit CubeSat 3U satellites with AIS signal receivers for tracking sea vessels, which are launched at an altitude of 500-600 km above sea level. Thanks to the data from these devices, information is constantly updated in the SiAIS satellite monitoring cloud service - each satellite receives several million messages per day and sends them to Earth for further processing. The satellites are manufactured by Sputnix, a part of Sitronics Group, and are sent on Roscosmos launch vehicles as a secondary payload at the expense of Sitronics Group's own funds," said a representative of the Sitronics Group press service.

"AIS satellites are flying base stations with "cut" functions. They cannot transmit any messages inherent to base stations, but the main task will be solved in terms of regulating time slots in the case of a large cluster of mobile AIS stations, so that there is no confusion on the air, and, most importantly, they will perform relay functions, if they are embedded in them. In this case, we receive mobile base stations and can reliably and confidently receive data on vessels," said Alexey Smirnov, Chairman of the National Association of Small-Sized Shipping (NAMS).

According to a representative of the press service of Sitronics Group, foreign services for ensuring ocean safety control are not available to Russian companies, which makes the cloud service project relevant for the entire industry.

"The company's automatic identification system service is used by specialists from the Center for Monitoring the Fishing and Communications System of the Russian Federation and other Russian enterprises. At the same time, Sitronics Group is continuously developing the functionality of the service," he said.

The company recently announced the expansion of the functionality of the SiAIS satellite monitoring service for sea vessels. The announcement states that "users can now track the history of events for a specific vessel or port, the system now has the ability to generate heat maps of shipping, and the catalog of navigation equipment has expanded to 28,000 unique objects."

A representative of the Sitronics Group press service added that experts from the maritime industry and developers of ship traffic management systems are taking part in the creation of the service.

"They help create a service that meets the requirements of professional consumers. The product approach allows us to orient the functionality being developed towards the requirements of system users and correctly prioritize development," he said.
