Roscosmos will start serial production of satellites in 2027
By ForGeeks In 2027, Roscosmos plans to start serial production of satellites. Andrei Yelchaninov, the agency’s first deputy director general, said this in an interview with Interfax.

Production lines will be organized at two plants: Reshetnev in Zheleznogorsk and Lavochkin NPO in Khimki, where various models of satellites will be created as part of the Sphere project.

The Lavochkin NPO is already running a pilot project to make three satellites that are then potentially going to be on the streaming line. Two of them have optoelectronic payloads, one will have radar.

The Zheleznogorsk plant will assemble satellites designed for the Internet of Things and broadband access as part of the Skif and Marathon-IoT initiatives.

We calculated the amount of investment required, right down to the equipment, realizing that this is a long and expensive process. So far we have decided that it is reasonable to switch to a conveyor in two stages. At the first stage we will reach the production of about a hundred and a little satellites a year, and then we will expand our capabilities and fine-tune the technology.
Yelchaninov noted that the realization of industrial assembly at the first stages will begin in 2027, and by 2030 it is possible to build new production facilities.
