Strategic meeting "Development of space activities in Russia": course for trade and private investment.
During the session, the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin stated the need to expand business support for space projects.
Mikhail Meshustin also separately emphasized the direction of business participation in the implementation of resource-intensive projects in the industry. To this end, the state creates attractive conditions: technology companies will help to get launch services at affordable prices.
An example of such a new trajectory would be the planned launch with state support of the first two private satellites from the Vostochny Cosmodrome.
Special attention is paid to the formation of a full market for Earth Remote Sensing (ERS) data: high-resolution satellite images are already available to organizations on a commercial basis, which opens up opportunities for private investment in the space industry.
Later, the General Director of Roscosmos, Dmitry Bakanov, reported on the progress of the implementation of the national project "Cosmos". The head of the state corporation spoke about the creation of the Amur-LNG rocket with a reusable first stage, the Russian orbital station, the introduction of digital technologies to reduce the time and cost of technological development, and the creation of a nuclear power plant for the international scientific lunar station.
