Kanopus-V (Kanopus-Vulkan) is a small Russian remote sensing satellite.
Provision of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters, Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, Russian Academy of Sciences operational weather information for the following major tasks:
The satellite was built by NPO VNII Elektromekhaniki, who subcontracted the avionics suite to SSTL. The imager was built by OAO Peleng.
Kanopus-V features two instruments:
A virtual copy of this satellite was built for Belarus as BKA 1.
Kanopus-V 2 has been modified with additional infra-red capability and was launched as Kanopus-V-IK 1 in 2015.
