By 2030, there may be up to 1,000 private Russian satellites in near-Earth orbit. This was stated by State Secretary and Deputy General Director of Roscosmos Olga Vilkova at a meeting of the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy.
Currently, 129 private spacecraft are registered in the national register. Vilkova noted that, according to estimates by private companies, the number of such space objects could grow to a thousand by 2030.
In December 2023, the head of Roscosmos, Yuri Borisov, reported that private companies in Russia should form a group of approximately 600 satellites by the same date. Taking into account the already existing private devices, the total orbital group of Russia by the end of the decade will number about 1,700 satellites.
