the Russian Corporation VNIIEM (included in structure of the Russian space Agency) and the national Academy of Sciences of Belarus signed at MAKS-2015 agreement on development and subsequent operation of the SPACECRAFT (SC) remote sensing (RS) high resolution BKA-2.

the Document was signed by CEO of VNIIEM Leonid magidenko and chief of staff of the NAS of Belarus Piotr Vityaz, reported on the website of Roscosmos. Earlier, Russia and Belarus have established a joint Russian-Belarusian land infrastructure management Belarusian (BSA) and Russian ("kanopus-V") spacecraft and system for receiving and processing information received from them.

Recall, BSA (Belarusian spacecraft) was the second Belarusian spacecraft remote sensing of the Earth and was created by order of NAS of Belarus. The launch was carried out from the Baikonur cosmodrome on July 22, 2012. The launch of the first satellite Belka in 2006 was unsuccessful because of the accident of the carrier rocket "Dnepr".
