Sergey Krikalev, the Executive Director for Manned Programs of Roskosmos, announced that the state corporation has set a goal to reduce the cost of ready-made satellites by more than a quarter. The slides shown at the Eurasian Aerospace Congress in Moscow talked about a 28% price reduction.

Among other goals of the Russian space department is to reduce the risk of production schedule delays by up to 25% and to increase the production rate fourfold. As a reminder, Yuri Borisov, the head of Roscosmos, previously announced the global goal of the space corporation – to shift to assembly line production of satellites and to produce one spacecraft a day.
