The idea of creating small spacecraft and constellations based on them, placed in low and medium earth orbits, has been formulated and widely used in the field of space systems development over the last two decades. To date, there are a large number of small satellites designed for remote sensing of the Earth.This paper describes the purpose and main technical characteristics of the small earth remote sensing satellite “AIST-2D”. It also describes the progress of the flight tests and the results obtained with the few payloads. In addition, examples of the use of the received Earth remote sensing data to solve various problems are presented. Finally, conclusions are drawn on the interim results of the spacecraft's operation and the prospects for the development of the “AIST-2” platform are described.The small spacecraft “AIST-2D” created in the shortest possible time (less than three years) is an example of successful implementation of a project to create a modern multifunctional spacecraft for remote sensing of the Earth. The experience gained in the development, construction, experimental testing and operation of the “AIST-2D” spacecraft opens up opportunities for the creation of a series of spacecraft based on the “AIST-2” platform with minimal costs and short production times, which will allow us to count on the creation of highly efficient space monitoring systems in the foreseeable future.
