We are glad to announce that our massive collecting names programme ‘Send your name into space’ has finished. We thank everyone for participation and spreading information on social media. We are grateful to the Russian school students’ union and Irkutsk planetarium which draw attention to our project and contributed to the leadership of Irkutsk province in the number of registered participants.

To mark the 64^th anniversary of the first artificial satellite flight our company is today, the 4^th of October 2021, launching a unique new programme. Next year the CubeSats Geoscan 1U and Geoscan 3U will send the names of all those who wish to participate into Earth orbit.

Yesterday, on the 21^th of September, a big drone show took place in Armenia. From the formation to writing, from the state symbol to national hero — 1050 drones were telling a real story of the country emergence.

The show started with the drones forming an eagle, which is depicted on the coat of arms of Armenia. The bird, flapping its enormous wings, was welcomed with astonishment and received so thunderous ovation that music accompanying the show seemed muted. Then, at a distance sacred Mount Ararat, which is a symbol of Armenian nation, appeared.

On the 27th of August, a hi-tech presentation of the Z Flip3 and Z Fold3 smartphones took place within the collaboration between Baltic Drone Show (Latvia) and Geoscan. 500 quadcopters took off into the sky over Linnahall—a multi-purpose venue located on the coast of Tallinn Bay, and they had been performing in various formations and writings for about 10 minutes.

In June Geoscan geophysicists completed aerial photography and UAV aeromagnetic survey in Burkina Faso at the request of the gold mining company Salma International Sarl. The project geography covered northern and southern territories of the country, and the amount of work was 2 956 linear kilometres.

Burkina Faso is in the Top 10 African countries for gold mining. Salma International Sarl is a major player in this sphere, and it is focused on development. Today, the company management is committed to implementing modern technologies.

QR codes are becoming increasingly popular, and the Geoscan company included it in the programme during Saudi Arabian show on the 12th of June.

The show took place in two cities simultaneously: in Riyadh and Jeddah. The theme was the promotion of tourism in Saudi Arabia. The country was considered to be closed years ago, and the tourism involved only religious pilgrimages. In October 2019, the kingdom started to open visa applications for visitors, and it continues to actively develop this sphere now.

On the 29^th of May, in Turkey, a drone show dedicated to Istanbul‘s Conquest Day took place. It was accompanied with live orchestral music and fireworks, and all the Turkish citizens could watch this sound and visual feast due to online broadcasting.

Our company has launched a new development in the work — and now we are ready for space exploration! We are presenting you the Geoscan 1U and Geoscan 3U CubeSats.

The name is self-explanatory — the Geoscan 1U and Geoscan 3U CubeSats are in the shape of cube and rectangular parallelepiped with four or five solar panels. Remote sensing cameras, ship AIS receivers or small scientific instruments (GNSS receivers, cosmic ray detectors, instruments for biological experiments) can provide a useful payload.

Geoscan 701 is an aircraft for aerial surveying designed to achieve maximum productivity per one flight due to using ICE.

A new model of UAV is designed under the traditional aerodynamic scheme. The supply of fuel (which is a mixture of petrol and oil) is enough for 10 hours of flight, and, as a result, the plane can cover up to 800 km. The UAV is supplied with a starter-alternator, which allows switching on the engine automatically and providing power for a payload and systems of onboard radio electronic equipment during a flight.
