Abstract
Elektro-M-1 is the planned geostationary meteorological mission of Rosaviakosmos, a successor spacecraft to GOMS (also known as Elektro-1). The overall mission objectives are:
-
To provide multispectral imagery (hydro-meteorological data) of the atmosphere (including the cloud-covered sky) and of the Earth’s surface within the coverage region (visible disk) of the spacecraft
-
To collect heliospheric, ionospheric, and magnetospheric data
-
To provide the needed communication services for the transmission/exchange of all data with the ground segment
-
To provide the services of data collection for the DCPs (Data Collection Platforms) in the ground segment.

Note: For a number of years the designation GOES Next (N) was used to identify the first of the satellites that would follow the GOES I-M series. It was also thought this GOES N would be the start of a totally new generation satellite series. However, during the time frame of about 1992–95, NOAA has come to realize that a new satellite series would take at least a decade to develop, manufacture, and launch. This new situation made NOAA realize it would need a few more clones of the current GOES I-M series to maintain continuity of GOES service prior to the GOES Next being available. What has evolved is a program that will likely buy 3–4 additional GOES I-M satellites beyond the GOES I-M series. These would then be labeled GOES N through Q. GOES R would be the first of a new generation of three-axis stabilized satellites. (Information: R. Heymann of NOAA).
