During the implementation of the Orbit-TM telemetry system in rocket technology, K. A. Pobedonostsev posed and successfully solved one of the acute problems of radio telemetry: the problem of processing and presenting a large amount of telemetric information in a short time. Under his leadership, the foundations were laid for the development of Orbit-IV third-generation radio telemetry.
He also contributed to the organization of cooperation of OKB MPEI with foreign partners. The first international contacts took place in 1971 during the joint work of OKB MEI with ISRO , the Indian state space organization, to launch the first Indian satellites Ariabhata (launched April 19, 1975) and Bhaskara (the launch took place on June 7, 1979). He supervised the work on receiving information from Indian satellites by Orbita-TM station, installed at a control point in the branch of OKB MPEI Medvezhye Ozyora .
He was the leading leader in the development of the first domestic digital radio telemetry system "Orbit-TM," adopted by the Soviet Army and which became the basic system of the USSR Air Force .
