Russia is preparing a new generation of the Rasbet satellite communication system. According to the configuration specified in the application dated October 29, 2026, the Rasbet-4 constellation will include 374 satellites spread over 17 orbital planes - 22 instruments in each. The approximate height of the route is about 800 km.
The documentation also indicates individual characteristics of the communication system: each Rasbet-4 satellite must provide 12 antenna beams - seven transmitters and five receivers. The mass of the devices, the power of the transmitters and the parameters of new spacecraft for intersatellite communication have not yet been published.
