Gonets-M are an upgraded version of Gonets satellites, derived from military communications system Strela-3. Gonets-M constellation is tasked with monitoring ecological and industrial objects, providing communication and data transmission services, covering also the remote areas like the Far North region. Gonets-M satellites share the ride with the Blits-M microsatellite, which is a geodesic satellite tasked with determining precise orbit parameters for GLONASS satellites.
GONETS M 16 (M26) was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Rokot/Briz-KM | Gonets-M24, Gonets-M25, Gonets-M26 & Blits-M’, on board a Rokot/Briz-KM space rocket.
