OREANDA-NEWS. The International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2013, traditionally held in Zhukovsky, Moscow, is due to open its doors to the participants today. Academician M.F. Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems, being a leading Russian manufacturer of spacecraft for communications, navigation and geodesy purposes, will make a strong showing at this event.

ISS-Reshetnev's exhibition stand is part of a joint exposition organized by the Federal Space Agency. Multimedia presentations of advanced satellite platforms, cutting-edge technologies and engineering solutions will provide visitors with the updated knowledge on the company's communications, navigations and geodesy satellite projects. Services that are provided by ISS-Reshetnev-made spacecraft will be front and center at its stand.

One of the company's co-exhibitors at the show is represented by Gonets SatCom - a business that operates the low-Earth orbit system Gonets-D1M (ISS-Reshetnev designs and builds spacecraft for this orbital constellation). The operator has its products and offers on display, so a large number of companies and organizations interested in personal communications have been invited to the stand. Apart from that, “Izhevskiy radiozavod” is also exhibiting within the joint exposition. This company specializes in the manufacture of on-board flight control electronic equipment for spacecraft, and works closely with ISS-Reshetnev under a number of satellite construction programs.

Representatives of the Reshetnev Company will hold a series of business meetings with already existing and potential customers and partners, as well as sign a number of official documents. It's expected that the presentation of UNIVERSUM SPACE TECHNOLOGIES, a joint venture between ISS-Reshetnev Company and Thales Alenia Space, will become one of the key moments of the event.
