Space Turnout: CEC Plans to Collect Votes via Satellites
The new format is designed for voters from regions without coverage - the signal will go directly through orbit

The new system does not copy Starlink, but it addresses Russia's critical needs

MAI: localization of the Rassvet satellite development played an important role

Bureau 1440 promised to increase the Rassvet satellite communication group

Denis Fedutinov: it is necessary to use the infrastructure of geostationary communications satellites

The first spacecraft of the low-Earth-orbit satellite constellation "Rassvet" will be sent into orbit in the first quarter of 2026

Reason for the delay is the lack of the required number of ready-made devices

A metal structure with a communication terminal was welded to the saddle

The device provides stable communication at speeds up to 400 km/h

The system will be developed by "Bureau 1440"

Access will become possible after the deployment of a low-orbit satellite constellation

The project will allow voting in remote locations using satellite communications

The project cost may still increase

Budgetary and extra-budgetary funds will be directed to the development of satellite systems, manned spaceflight, and reducing launch costs.

A group of satellites for Wi-Fi on board during the flight will be deployed in 2027
