Russia plans to launch 14 remote sensing satellites between 2025 and 2028.

According to a report by the Tass news agency on March 3rd1day, the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), VIS Group and Rosnedra are developing an observation constellation project with 14 satellites. Nikolai Sevastyanov, adviser to the head of Roscosmos, said that they plan to launch between 2025 and 2028.

Sevastyanov pointed out that this work is being carried out jointly with VIS Group and Rosnedra. According to Sevastyanov, it is planned to launch four measuring satellites in 2025, four highly detailed imaging satellites in 2026, three radar devices in 2027 and three more radar devices in 2028.

According to Sevastyanov, ultra-detailed equipment will make it possible to obtain images with a resolution of 0.5 meters from space. These devices can take photos of as many as 1500 objects at this resolution every day. Radar satellites will be designed to control ice conditions and emergencies.

Previously, at a meeting of its operation headquarters, Roscosmos determined the main development focus related to the change of geopolitical situation-the Russian orbital group will increase, and will pay special attention to the development of automatic early warning system, the dangerous situation in near-earth space and the establishment of orbital service stations.
