The DFS-1 Taiga is now orbiting the Earth at a polar orbit with an apogee of 500.6 km. and perigee of 500 km., an orbital period of 64 minutes and 19 seconds, and inclination of 90 degrees. The satellite is fitted with instruments which makes communications and research possible. It is currently transmitting the anthem of the federation "Song of Great Daikoku", readings on the current status of the satellite, and images of the Earth.
