Russia's VNIIEM Corporation and the British Surrey Satellite Technology company signed a protocol on potential cooperation in the creation of a Russian small Earth remote-sensing (ERS) satellite, Russia's Federal Space Agency Roscosmos said Wednesday.

"The document provides for the prospects of the development and supply of equipment for airborne guidance system, which will consist of the power supply system (without solar cells), of stability, orientation and navigation systems, of onboard computational module with software, of orbital propulsion unit and of S-band SAR [synthetic aperture radar] for ERS microsatellite," the statement reads.

According to the Russian Federal Space Program, the number of remote sensing satellites will increase to 20 by 2025. At the moment Russia operates seven ERS satellites.

On Tuesday, two Russian space companies and the Iranian Bonyan Danesh Shargh firm signed an agreement on joint development of an Earth remote-sensing satellite system for Iran.
