Design
Monitor-E had a set of remote sensing devices. They were intended to make maps of the Earth's surface to be used for ecological monitoring and charting geological features. It was built by the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center.
A mock-up of Monitor-E (COSPAR 2003-031A) was launched 30 June 2003 aboard Rokot rocket.

Communications problems
After launch, communications with Monitor-E was initially difficult to establish, but a few hours later it was successfully contacted and control was established.[5] On 19 October 2005 new problems developed and no communication was possible since then. Later on communications were restored and photographs from both cameras were published on 30 November 2005.

[de] Monitor-E
Monitor-E (russisch Монитор-Э, E steht für experimentell) ist die Bezeichnung einer geplanten Reihe optoelektronischer russischer Erdbeobachtungssatelliten, die von dem Unternehmen GKNPZ Chrunitschew in der Nähe von Moskau gebaut werden. Die Satelliten basieren auf einer von Chrunitschew entwickelten „Jachta“-Satellitenplattform (russisch Яхта), die für verschiedenartige Satelliten verwendet werden kann und aus zwei 1.200 × 600 mm großen Modulen – einem universellen Funktionsmodul und einem Nutzlastmodul – besteht. Der Funktionsmodul eines Monitor-E wiegt 420 kg, der Nutzlastmodul 330 kg, die Gesamtmasse des Satelliten beträgt 750 kg. Zur Lagekorrektur verfügen die Satelliten über Ionentriebwerke. Die Lebensdauer soll etwa fünf Jahre betragen.- [en] Monitor-E
[ru] Монитор (космический аппарат)
Монитор — серия малых космических аппаратов дистанционного зондирования Земли созданная в ГКНПЦ им. М. В. Хруничева на базе унифицированной космической платформы «Яхта». Предполагалось что серия будет состоять из спутников «Монитор-Э», «Монитор-И», «Монитор-С», «Монитор-О» оснащенных различной оптико-электронной аппаратурой и «Монитор-Р» оснащенного радиолокационными системами". На настоящий момент в федеральной космической программе спутники серии «Монитор» отсутствуют.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
