For the creation of the super-heavy rocket “Yenisei”, the deployment of the system of near-earth satellites “Sphere” and the modernization of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), “Roscosmos” is asking to allocate trillions of rubles from the state budget, Alexander Ivanov, a member of the board of the Military-Industrial Commission (MIC) of Russia, told RIA Novosti …
“Under 1 trillion rubles they are asking for a super-heavy carrier, and one and a half trillion for the Sphere project. The state armament program will soon be less than Roskosmos' requests for its projects, ”said a member of the military-industrial complex board.
According to him, initially “Roscosmos” asked for GLONASS “almost 1 trillion rubles, now the amount has been significantly reduced.” “If we are talking about a single space program, then it is logical to put everything together and present it as a single document. This has not been done yet, ”Ivanov said.
In the November issue of the official magazine of the state corporation Russian Space, it was reported that by 2030 Roskosmos would launch about 600 satellites of the Sphere system, the “analogues” of which are the Western projects Starlink and OneWeb.
