Russia to supply hi-tech satellite to Iran

Russia is set to deliver an advanced satellite system to Iran that will vastly improve its spying capabilities.
Moscow is preparing to give Iran a Kanopus-V satellite with a high-resolution camera.
It will allow the Islamic republic to monitor facilities of its adversaries across the West Asia, the newspaper said, citing current and former U.S. and West Asian officials.
The satellite would be launched in Russia and contain Russian-made hardware.

What is Kanopus V Satellite?

Kanopus-V 3 and 4 are the third and fourth members of Russia’s Kanopus-V Remote Earth Sensing Satellite carrying a multi-instrument package for high-resolution imaging, colour imaging, and multi-spectral data collection for environmental monitoring, mapping, fire detection, agricultural planning, land use assessments, and urban planning.
Kanopus builds a constellation of small remote sensing spacecraft, operating alongside the large Resurs satellites that build Russia’s primary civilian Earth observation system, however, both Resurs and Kanopus have some overlap with the military and will be called upon when necessary to deliver data for defence ministry purposes.
