俄羅斯將在2016發射第二顆新一代彈道導彈發射預警衛星。
EKS-1，去年發射的聯合空間彈道導彈預警係統第一顆衛星，目前正由俄羅斯空間防禦力量在軌道上測試。該衛星可以監視世界上任何地方的彈道導彈發射。
新一代衛星將通過探測紅外光線下的導彈發動機排煙，更快的識別發射的彈道導彈。
第一個新係統的地麵站已經建成並通過多次試驗。將在多地建立更多的地麵站。
去年10月，俄羅斯國防部長稱已經開始開發新一代的聯合係統以探測彈道導彈發射，並將取代蘇聯時期的導彈預警係統。新係統將采用新的衛星，新的地麵監視站，先進的計算機網絡。

TEHRAN (FNA)- Russia will orbit a second new generation satellite in 2016 to keep a closer eye on ballistic missile launches anywhere in the world, the Defense Ministry said, Zvezda TV channel reported.
The EKS-1 – the first such satellite of the unified space-based ballistic missile warning system launched late last year — is currently undergoing trials in orbit by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces, Sputnik reported.

The new generation satellites will ensure much quicker identification of ballistic missile launches by detecting their engines’ exhaust plume in infrared light.

The first early warning ground-based station for the new network has been built in the Altay region and it has passed state trials.

More such stations will be built also in the Leningrad, Irkutsk, Kaliningrad and Krasnodar regions.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced in October last year that Russia had started the development of a new unified network to detect ballistic missile launches, which would replace the Soviet-made ballistic missile early warning systems and feature  new-generation satellites, new ground-based space monitoring stations and advanced computer networks.
