New space race? Russia launches serial production of satellites
While our country departs from the USA, China and Europe.
Russia is likely to include satellite in the new space race. Recently, the country has lagged behind its main population groups in this matter, Roskosmos will allocate up to 50 billion rubles for the construction of two new factories for the production of satellites.
Investments were attracted, including with the use of bonds issued by the financial structure of Roskosmos, the head of the corporation Yuri Borisov said in an interview with Vedomosti. They are on Russian stock exchanges.

According to Borisov’s calculations, the bonds will be designed for a period of 15-20 years, and the coupon payment will be consumed every 181 days. The starting batch for 10 billion rubles will be released in 2023.
“These materials are important for the construction of two serial factories for the production of satellites,” said the head of Roscosmos.
For the time being, the factories will presumably be located in Krasnoyarsk and the Moscow region, since it is there that the research and production organizations are located that are involved in the installation of satellites, and also in order not to carry materials across the country. In particular, Borisov named JSC “IIS” them. Academician M.F. Reshetneva is a Russian developer and manufacturer of satellite communications, television broadcasting, navigation and geodesy.

In addition, under the head of the state corporation, private companies such as Sberbank, MegaFon, Sitronics and others are joining the construction. Currently teaching increased attention. Also involved in the use of satellites and university masses that consume advanced satellite technologies and build them.
Russia is not the first in the space satellite race. In June of this year, the former head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, stated that there were “very few” satellites in orbit. According to the statement, these are about 160 devices of its local and military purpose. For comparison, count the nearest satellites. He added that these are not only satellite channels, but also private ones – for example, such as Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites, who have repeatedly suspected that they “work” for US intelligence.

“We need satellites, now we have 161 spacecraft, including devices of the Ministry of Defense, this is not enough, they should be involved,” Rogozin said.
Rogozin said that in Russia there are no radar devices for all-weather and round-the-clock surveillance, such a satellite will appear at the end of 2022. Several other devices are also expected, including military ones.
The Ministry of Defense announced the appearance of Plesetsk missiles with military satellites. These are the spacecraft Cosmos-2561 and Cosmos-2562, and earlier launched Cosmos-2560. At the beginning of November it was reported about launching a satellite into orbit in an early report of a missile attack.
Also, the District Department reported on Russia’s “experiments” with foreign satellites, which were used by the Russian Aerospace Forces. In November 2021, the Ministry of Defense reported on tests that resulted in the discovery of an inactive Tselina-D missile.
In the summer, the head of Rosmosmos changed, and he also immediately said that Russia had lagged behind the production of satellites, the United States, China and Europe had long overtaken us. He noted that Russia needs to develop an industrial model for the production of satellites.
“In order to obtain a substance “in a completely certain amount”, a radical restructuring of the main processes is necessary, and the movement of its effects under conditions of dispersion, which primarily include an electron-component mass,” Borisov specified.

As of July 2022, there were more than 3,400 satellites in the United States, including almost 3 members, more than 30 close, about 170 assembled, and more than 230 military, according to statistics from the non-profit organization USC (Union of Concerned Scientists, Union of Advanced Scientists) as of July 2022. There were over 540 satellites in China. in addition, the UK has a lot of devices in orbit – about 350, as well as the EU – more than 300. For comparison, a little more than 10 years ago, Russia was next to the nearest satellites in orbit and was inferior to the USA and China.
Previously, Notepad spoke about What is Zelensky’s secret flight to the USA connected with?. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky flew to Washington. The news about this literally “blew up” the Western media, as the visit was prepared under such great secrecy that even insiders could not “sniff out” anything.
