In 2026, for the first time, two private satellites will be launched from the Vostochny Cosmodrome with state support.The Government aims to facilitate commercial participation in space projects and create new support measures to ensure equal conditions for industry players, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced at a meeting on space industry development.Additionally, regional production facilities for satellites are being established, which, according to preliminary calculations, will reduce their cost by about a third.According to the Prime Minister, these initiatives will accelerate the expansion of the domestic orbital constellation, which currently stands at nearly 400 spacecraft. The Government expects this number to grow over the next two years.“All areas of space activity are highly resource-intensive and large-scale, so it is crucial to more actively involve the private sector in such projects and create additional incentives for innovation and technological advancements,” Mikhail Mishustin emphasized.
