The Republican Unitary Enterprise "Geoinformation Systems" offers consumers services for the use of a distributed system for the reception, processing, and distribution of operational space information from spacecraft under an outsourcing agreement and/or subcontracting and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The Earth Remote Sensing Data Reception Hardware and Software Complex (ERDC) is designed to receive radio signals from target data transmission links from Earth Remote Sensing Spacecraft (ERSC), demodulate, decode, record, and temporarily store them.

The Earth Remote Sensing Data Reception Department operates three space data reception stations.
1. The Belarusian-Russian High-Information Receiving Complex (BRVPK).
The Belarusian-Russian High-Information Receiving Complex (BRVPK) is designed to receive and record target data received via an X-band radio channel from Earth Remote Sensing Spacecraft.
2. The L/X-band Receiving Station.
The L/X-band Receiving Station is designed to receive and record target data received via two radio channels from Earth Remote Sensing Spacecraft.
3. The "GEOSTATIONAR" Receiving Complex.
The "GEOSTATSIONAR" receiving complex is designed to receive and record target information from geostationary meteorological satellites for Earth remote sensing in accordance with the current license issued by the EUMETSAT system.

The distributed system for reception, processing, and distributing operational space information from spacecraft (AQUA, SUOMI NPP, NOAA 20, MetOp, Fengyun-3) enables the reception, processing, storage, and dissemination of Earth remote sensing data from meteorological satellites, and provides Earth remote sensing data to the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus, the State Institution "Republican Center for Hydrometeorology, Radioactive Pollution Control, and Environmental Monitoring," and other users. Developed within the framework of the State Program "High-Technology and Technology" for 2016-2020, Subprogram 7 "Exploration and Use of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes," Activity 41 "Creation of a Distributed System for Receiving, Processing, and Disseminating Operational Space Information from Spacecraft (AQUA, SUOMI NPP, NOAA 20, MetOp, Fengyun-3)."

The system performs the following:
- Primary processing of received information;
- Creation and storage of basic information resources and descriptive information;
- Automatic detection of thermal anomalies and determination of their parameters for the territory of the Republic of Belarus and the border areas of neighboring states. The results, in the form of thermal anomalies displayed on a digital map, are transmitted to units of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus within 15 minutes of the end of the reception session and published online at meteoeye.gis.by/hotspots. - Providing users with search, visualization, and access tools to basic information resources based on a geoportal solution online at meteoeye.gis.by;
- Calculating and consistently tracking NDVI values ​​throughout Belarus, and forecasting grain yields based on this value.

Data applications:
- Emergency detection and monitoring;
- Crop yield forecasting;
- Vegetation mapping;
- Meteorological forecasting.

Information about the Distributed System for Reception, Processing, and Disseminating Operational Space Information from Spacecraft is available on the Geoinformation Systems Enterprise website here.

The system has no analogues or alternatives in the Republic of Belarus in terms of its goals, tasks to be solved and technical implementation.

An analogue is the "Planeta" ground-based system for receiving and processing satellite information of the hydrometeorological service of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Research Center for Space Hydrometeorology" (FSBI "RC Planeta"), which includes three regional centers: the European Center (FSBI "RC Planeta", Moscow - with branches in the cities of Obninsk and Dolgoprudny), the Siberian Center (branch of the FSBI "RC Planeta", Novosibirsk) and the Far Eastern Center (branch of the FSBI "RC Planeta", Khabarovsk).

In 1996, work began on developing a remote wildfire detection system using Earth remote sensing data from space as part of the State Scientific and Technical Program "Minimizing and Overcoming the Consequences of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Disaster" and the State Scientific and Technical Program "Emergencies" for 1996-2000.

The company participated in the Union State program "Development and Use of Space Facilities and Technologies for Receiving, Processing, and Displaying Space Information" (Cosmos-BR) (1999-2003).

The company was included in the list of contractors for the BKSDS project and was designated the organization operating the BKSDS.

The company was designated the National Operator of the Belarusian Space System for Remote Sensing of the Earth (hereinafter referred to as the BKSDS) for the purpose of operating the BKSDS and the Belarusian spacecraft, as well as interacting with organizations involved in the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes.

In 2006, the Space Information Reception Center was established.

Resolution No. 1517 of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus dated October 14, 2008, approved the "National Program for the Exploration and Use of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes for 2008-2012," which includes the subprogram "Development of the Belarusian Space System for Earth Remote Sensing." As part of this subprogram, the company is creating the infrastructure and core technologies of the Belarusian Space System for Earth Remote Sensing, ensuring the operation and maintenance of the BSA and meeting the needs of Belarusian and foreign users for Earth remote sensing services and data, both from the BSA and from advanced foreign spacecraft.

The company began implementing the Union State program "Development of an Integrated System for Standardization of Space Technology Created within the Framework of Union State Programs and Projects" ("Standardization-SG") as the lead organization (2011-2014).

In 2015, the company began its participation as the competent organization of the Republic of Belarus for the reception and processing of space information provided by the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters. The company was accepted as a member of the PanGeo international alliance of Earth remote sensing satellite operators.

The company is the lead implementing organization on behalf of the Republic of Belarus for the Union State program "Development, Modernization, and Harmonization of Regulatory, Organizational, Methodological, and Hardware-Software Support for the Targeted Use of Earth Remote Sensing Space Systems of Russia and Belarus" (Integration-SG) (2020-2023).
