Kaliningrad to Kamchatka: All-Russian satellite network

From Kaliningrad to Kamchatka: All-Russian satellite network becomes a reality

🛰 GLONASS and Gazprom Space Systems signed an agreement to create a low-orbit satellite constellation to provide personal communications throughout Russia. The project provides for the production of domestic satellites, which will strengthen the country’s technological sovereignty.

📡 A terminal has been developed to transmit data and emergency messages in real time using existing geostationary satellites. New technologies will help support various industries, including forestry, energy and logistics.

🏭 Gazprom Space Systems will provide production facilities for serial production of satellites and will test joint solutions. The project is aimed at developing commercial space technologies and improving the safety of work in remote regions.

satellites in geostationary orbit will enable personal communications throughout Russia, while new technologies will help provide support in areas such as forestry, energy, and logistics.

Gazprom Space Systems will provide production sites for serial production of satellites and will also test joint solutions with GLONASS. The companies see potential in this project for developing commercial space technologies that can take the domestic space industry to a new level.

Dmitry Sevastyanov, CEO of Gazprom Space Systems, noted that the companies’ joint efforts will make space technologies accessible to the mass market. The project is aimed at improving the safety and efficiency of specialists working in remote regions of Russia.

The project will also help in implementing state tasks of digital transformation of the economy. Its relevance is associated with the development of unmanned aircraft systems, autonomous transport, and agricultural machinery, which requires reliable satellite communications.

The companies’ cooperation promises to create a single information space to meet the needs of various industries, such as maritime transportation and cargo logistics, where traditional cellular communications are unavailable.
