Shadaev announced plans to put 272 low-orbit vehicles into orbit

In 2027 it is planned to put into orbit about 272 space low-orbit satellites. This was announced by the Minister of Digital Development of the Russian Federation Maksut Shadaev on December 5.

"We will have 272 spacecraft in 2027, our low-orbit constellation. And, in fact, the Internet will be everywhere," Shadaev announced the plans on air on Channel One.

Earlier in the day, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia cannot allow failures in the work on the creation of an orbital satellite constellation. In his opinion, the rocket and space industry should retain its status as one of the technological flagships.

In November, Yuri Borisov, head of Roscosmos, noted at a meeting with the president that space currently plays a major role in the Russian economy. According to the head of the state corporation, at the moment the growth rate of the global space industry is much higher than the growth rate of global GDP.
