ELEKTRO-L 4

Russian Geostationary Weather · Roscosmos / Roshydromet

Russia's fourth Elektro-L geostationary weather satellite, expanding coverage and redundancy for Russian meteorological services. Positioned at a different longitude from its siblings, Elektro-L 4 gives Russian meteorologists simultaneous multi-angle coverage of the same weather systems — improving forecast accuracy for a country where weather extremes from Arctic blizzards to steppe heat waves affect hundreds of millions of people across the world's largest national territory.
