Russia plans to deploy around 300 satellites in low Earth orbit as part of Project Dawn by 2028, with the aim of creating a domestic alternative to SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet network. Minister of Digital Development Maksut Shadive said that more than 30 Shahar satellites are already in orbit. He noted that the system is designed to provide high-speed Internet access at a reasonable price worldwide. Shadev also emphasized that the main difference between Shahar and Starlink is the state's control over Internet traffic, including monitoring and filtering in accordance with Russian law.
