About this model
Resurs-P is one of the 203 3D models Space Radar made itself: a satellite, built in code from published dimensions and photographs, with no image-to-3D generator and no one else’s mesh.
Shape built from published dimensions and pictures; details simplified. It has 17,370 triangles in a 84 kB glTF file, and is 7.9 m across at full scale.
On Space Radar’s live map it is drawn for 2 catalogued objects, each where its published orbit puts it now. Open it on the map.

eoPortal, eoportal.org/satellite-missions/resurs-p, OPENED 2026-10-27: 'The Resurs-P spacecrafts are approximately 7.9 m long and 2.7 m in diameter'; 'Maximum length 7.93 m'; 'Maximum diameter 2.72 m'; 'Solar panel length 5.00 m'; 'Solar panel width 4.50 m'; 'Resurs-P4 6000 kg', 'Resurs-P5 5730 kg'. OURS: the profile of the body (the drum 1.0 m, the shell 1.45 m, the cylinder 1.9 m, the telescope tube and its corrugations), six strips of 0.68 m making the cited 4.5 m, every bracket, tube and dish; which end faces the Earth (the telescope end is drawn on +Z).
How it was made
Built in code from published dimensions and photographs, with no image-to-3D generator and no one else’s mesh. 3D model: built by Space Radar from published dimensions (a photograph of TsSKB Progress's model looked at only).
The full record
built by this project in code (the private tool model-from-images: assemble.py, from a yaml of primitives), from the cited dimensions and the pictures under `references`; no image-to-3D model was used, and no published mesh: NASA's 3D Resources (1 583 paths, read 2026-10-27) has none of these craft, and no agency named here publishes a model of its own under terms that allow one
Where the map uses it. NORAD 59371 and 62430 (RESURS-P 4 and 5), in the active catalogue of 2026-10-26: TsSKB Progress's 6-tonne high-resolution survey satellites, a 7.9 m cylinder with a corrugated telescope tube and two big wings of six strips; Resurs-DK 1 is a different craft and keeps the generic shape; public #1146
Licence note. A photograph of TsSKB Progress's model of Resurs-P No. 1 at the MAKS air show (Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0, share-alike) was LOOKED AT ONLY for the layout, never fetched into a file; nothing of it is in the file. ROSCOSMOS'S OWN SITE ANSWERED 403 and no agency model was found. The shape is this project's, under this repository's licence, built from published numbers (facts). NO LOGO AND NO LETTERING is on the mesh.
