Russia develops a new generation of Internet of Things satellites

The Moscow Aviation Institute announced that it is developing a new generation of satellites dedicated to providing Internet of Things services.

"The Space Technologies Center of the Moscow Aviation Institute is developing a platform for Marathon-2.0, the second generation of Marathon-IoT satellites designed to provide Internet of Things services," the institute's press service said in a statement.

“Our mission is to make space as accessible as possible to interested parties,” said Nikita Matasov, project team leader and graduate student at the Department of Space Systems and Rocket Engineering at the Moscow Space Research Institute. “We are completely redesigning the Marathon satellites: we are installing more efficient sensors, modules, equipment, and batteries on them. We are redesigning these satellites to make them global, and they will remain in high demand for many years to come.”

He added, "A prototype of the updated satellite has already been created, and a number of research projects are being implemented on it. Design documentation is being developed, based on which future experimental models will be created. The new satellites are being developed in cooperation with the Russian company Reshetniov, a subsidiary of Roscosmos."

The Marathon-IoT satellites are satellites developed by Russia to provide Internet of Things (IoT) services to Earth. They are being developed as part of the Russian Sphere project, which aims to launch more than 250 satellites into space, to operate in orbits 750 km above Earth.
