As late as 1967 the remote sensing experiments were carried out using airplanes, and after that this organization implemented experiments on the production and launching of missiles and telecommunication - television satellites and land remote sensing observations. At present, the Antrix company is in charge of coordination operation and implementation of all spatial operational stages, including production, launching, guidance, tracking, utilization and ....
