MOSCOW, March 30. /TASS/: Russia’s Ruselectronics Group has completed the trials of the latest Orion-C system for communications of the Flight Control Center with the International Space Station (ISS) and spacecraft, the Group’s press office told TASS on Monday.
"A prototype of the Orion-C ground-based receiving and transmitting digital television system has been created and tested. The tests have passed successfully. The R&D work is over and the enterprise is ready for deliveries," the press office said.
The new system has been developed by specialists of the R&D Institute of Television (part of Ruselectronics Group within the state hi-tech corporation Rostec), the press office specified.
The Orion-C has been developed on order from Russia’s Energia Space Rocket Corporation. The new system provides interference-resistant communications between the ISS, spacecraft and Russia’s Flight Control Center.
During a communications session, cosmonauts and the Flight Control Center will have the possibility to simultaneously exchange audio and video information in the high-quality digital format while the system is more compact and mobile than its predecessor and is easier to fine-tune and operate, Ruselectronics said.
Ruselectronics integrates over 120 enterprises and research organizations focused on developing and producing radio-electronic components and technologies, communications devices and systems, automated control systems, robotic complexes, microwave radio electronics, computers and telecoms equipment.
