Roscosmos received more than 12 billion rubles from the reserve fund for the lunar program and the creation of new satellites

Moscow. November 20. INTERFAX - Roscosmos has received the first funds for the creation of the Sphere satellite system, the head of the state corporation Dmitry Rogozin said.

"This year we received the first funds for the deployment of the Sphere program," Rogozin said on the YouTube channel "Solovyov Live" on Saturday.

He also said that the state corporation this week and last week received more than 12 billion rubles from the reserve fund for the implementation of the lunar program and the creation of satellites.

According to the press service of Roscosmos, funds from the reserve fund will be directed to the production of remote sensing devices of the Earth "Resource" and Meteor weather satellites

Earlier, Rogozin reported that in 2022-2023, the first flight samples of spacecraft of the Sphere project will be created, which will be sent into orbit.

On June 15, the first Deputy Director General of Roscosmos for the development of the orbital constellation and promising projects, Yuri Urlich, announced that the program of the global satellite constellation Sphere will be submitted to the government in June.

On June 7, at the session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Rogozin announced that the cost of the global satellite system "Sphere" program will amount to 800 billion rubles. 500 billion rubles of program costs are accounted for by private investments, Rogozin said.

In October 2020, Rogozin announced that Russia would begin deploying a satellite constellation as part of the Sphere global communications program in 2021.

Urlich previously reported that the state corporation within the framework of the global communications project "Sphere" will create an "Internet of things" in space. The first demonstrators of this technology will appear in 2022.

In July 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the Sphere project, which provides for the creation of a global network of 600 satellites to provide the territory of the Russian Federation and other countries with Internet and telephone communications. Its competitors are similar projects of OneWeb and SpaceX.
