Persona (satellite)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Persona is a new class of Russian reconnaissance satellites. It is derived from the Resurs class of remote sensing satellite, itself derived from the Soviet Yantar reconnaissance satellite. It uses optics based on those used in the Arkas (Arkon) satellites. The satellites are built by TsSKB Progress, and the optics by LOMO. The first satellite is scheduled for launch into a sun synchronous orbit in May 2008, atop a Soyuz-2.1b carrier rocket from LC-43/4 at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome.
