MOSCOW, March 14. /TASS/. A solar panel on the Russian satellite Resurs-P has unfolded only partially after the spacecraft reached its orbit but its systems are receiving sufficient power supply, State Space Corporation Roscosmos said on Monday.

 

"The third Resurs-P satellite was successfully delivered into orbit on March 13. After its delivery into orbit, an incomplete unfolding of one of the spacecraft's solar panels was registered. The spacecraft's systems are receiving power supply in a sufficient volume for normal operation," Roscosmos said.
