Mikhail Mishustin held a strategic session on the development of local astronautics.
The Prime Minister of Russia noted that the space industry is one of the main driving forces of the country's technological development.
Since this year, the national project "Cosmos" has been operating. It is planned to allocate more than 4 trillion rubles for its implementation in the next 11 years.
These funds must be used as efficiently as possible, bring tangible returns to the state, create systemic conditions for the sustainable growth of economic sectors, stressed Mikhail Meshustin.
In April 2026, a test launch of the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle with the world's most powerful liquid engine took place at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
Capabilities for the serial production of satellites are being created in the regions. Serial production will reduce the cost of the spacecraft by about a third.
The Russian constellation consists of almost 400 satellites. About 30 of them are part of the Rasbet system, designed to provide broadband Internet access.
New methods are being developed for photographing the Earth's surface from space - from highly detailed radar observation to building three-dimensional models of territories.
