Russian scientists from the Astronomical Research Laboratory of the Russian Academy of Science said that in early April, the battery system of Koronas-Foton satellite was charged with solar energy, but contacting the Left Land still failed.

The fact that the satellite has been shut down for the past five months is the basis for them to draw a conclusion that this satellite has finally "expired."

The Koronas-Foton probe was designed by Russia and launched into orbit in hopes of helping to study the accumulation of energy in the Sun's atmosphere; the luminescence of the Sun and the connection between this Sun and the magnetic storms on Earth.
