Yaroslavl Radio Factory has manufactured equipment for the Bion-M satellite No. 2
 

It is designed to determine the landing point of a research spacecraft. 

This was announced by Governor Mikhail Evraev in his telegram channel. – The launch of the satellite is scheduled for 2024. He will continue the program of biomedical experiments in space flight," Mikhail Evraev wrote. – Yaroslavl Radio Plant is one of the leaders of the Russian market in the production of electronic equipment. The company has joined the Roscosmos state corporation and will become the base for the production of space equipment. 

On the part of the regional Government, we provide the necessary support to the plant. Bion is a series of domestic spacecraft for conducting unique biological research, in particular, the effects of radiation and weightlessness on living organisms. Yaroslavl equipment for the satellite has already been sent to the customer – JSC RCC Progress. 

As Alexander Olkhov, Acting Minister of Investment and Industry of the region, noted, equipment for a satellite was assembled at the Yaroslavl Radio Plant, which includes three components: Sonata, Orientator and a light pulse beacon (SIM). 

Sonata has four radio transmitters that generate and transmit signals to search teams for quick satellite detection during landing. Orientator automatically activates the necessary antennas of the spacecraft, depending on its orientation upon landing. The light pulse beacon accelerates the visual search for the lander capsule at night. 

The rapid detection of Bion-M satellites after landing is very important, as it provides rapid extraction and investigation of biological objects after returning to Earth. 

Yaroslavl Radio Plant JSC is part of the Russian Space Systems holding and is one of the leaders of the Russian market in the production of electronic equipment, professional communications equipment, has extensive experience in manufacturing, adjusting and testing on-board space equipment.
