At least 12 domestic communication, Earth remote sensing (ERS), and other satellites are planned to be launched from Russian cosmodromes in 2025, Roscosmos reported.
In 2025, the launches of two helio-geophysical satellites "Ionosphere-M", two Internet of Things devices "Marafon", four experimental ERS satellites "Grifon", two ERS devices "Aist-2T", the radar satellite "Obzor-R", and the hydrometeorological device "Electro-L" No. 5 are planned. In addition, Roscosmos announced the launches of foreign spacecraft from Russian cosmodromes, also scheduled for 2025.
Roscosmos recalled plans to form a Russian orbital constellation after 2025. In 2026, the launch of five more "Marafon" devices, four highly elliptical communication satellites "Express-RV", geostationary devices "Express-AMU4" and "Yamal-501", as well as two experimental ERS satellites "Pixel-VR", work on which began this year, is planned.
In 2026–2027, it is planned to launch two modernized ERS satellites "Resurs-PM", two experimental devices "Berkut-VR", and one radar satellite "Berkut-RSA".
The period from 2027 to 2028 is designated as the time for launching six regular "Skif" devices, designed to provide broadband Internet access. Initially, this constellation was planned to be deployed as early as 2026. During the same period, two hydrometeorological satellites "Meteor-M" will be launched.
In the period from 2029 to 2030, it is planned to put two radar satellites "Condor-FKA" into orbit. By 2031, the launch of four hydrometeorological devices "Arktika-M" will be completed.
