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

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

The high key rate of the Central Bank puts preferential lending for the project in question

VimpelCom has the opportunity to become the second operator from the "big four" with access to satellite communications

Due to the complex terrain and weather conditions, low-orbit satellite communications should be more effective than terrestrial communications

The new line will allow the annual production of solar panels with a total capacity of more than 750 kilowatts

More than 250 domestic low-orbit satellites are expected to be launched
