The spacecraft features a Yantar-based propulsion module with a Zenit-based reentry capsule.
The satellite operates in near-circular orbit at an average altitude of 220
kilometers and has an orbital duration of 45 days. The total film capacity
covers approximately 10.5 million square kilometers of land area. The entire
system is then retrieved from orbit and landed at the preliminary defined
location.
