Russia's latest Elektro-L geostationary weather satellite, launched in 2025 and continuing modernization of Russian meteorological infrastructure. As climate change intensifies Arctic weather extremes — disrupting Russia's northern shipping routes, oil infrastructure built on permafrost, and seasonal agriculture patterns — high-quality geostationary weather monitoring has become a strategic national necessity, not merely a scientific service.
