In Q3 2025, Glavkosmos (part of Roscosmos) plans to launch 17 commercial small satellites of the CubeSat format, made in Russia, for domestic customers. As part of this mission, one small spacecraft will be launched for a foreign client.
17 commercial small satellites of the CubeSat format, produced in Russia, will be launched from specialized launch containers in the interests of Russian customers. Another small spacecraft (SCA) will be launched in the interests of a foreign customer. The launch of secondary payloads is scheduled for Q3 2025 from the Vostochny Cosmodrome.
The plan is to put two 3U cubesats from the company "Geoscan" with the "Gontsa" payload into orbit. The "Geoscan-4" and "Geoscan-5" satellites are designed to test packet data transmission technologies, which are widely used in remote monitoring systems, personal communications, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Also, as part of the launch, the "InnoSat-16" satellite in the 16U cubesat format will be launched, designed to test the technologies of the future remote sensing of the Earth (RSE) group "Geoscan". This device has already been successfully integrated with the 16U launch container of the company "Aerospace Capital" and is preparing to be sent to the Vostochny Cosmodrome. This will be the first Russian satellite of this size and the first 16U container to be put into orbit.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that production lines for the production of spacecraft were launched in Russia.
