Two private satellites with government support will be launched for the first time before the end of 2026 from the Vostochny Cosmodrome.
This is what Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at the strategic session "Development of space activity in Russia".
"This year, for the first time, two private satellites will be launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome with the support of the state. Of course, we will expand this practice, we will introduce new measures while ensuring equal conditions for industry players and we will continue to pay special attention to building a complete market model for the provision of remote sensing data of the Earth. For almost all organizations and departments, the commercial images are now available on a high booth basis.
