2025: Product Announcement
State Corporation Roscosmos and Bauman Moscow State Technical University signed an agreement on the creation of a system of 100 small CubeSat satellites. This was announced by the special representative of the President of Russia, General Director of the Russian Direct Investment Fund Kirill Dmitriyev on May 28, 2025.
According to the press service of Roscosmos, the Russian Space Systems holding, part of the Roscosmos structure, together with the Moscow State Technical University will release about 100 small satellites. The devices will be a 6U CubeSat and will be manufactured on the basis of the Cubesat platform of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
According to Kirill Dmitriev, nanosatellites will find application in solving applied and scientific problems. It is planned to develop a wide range of Russian equipment, including optical and meteorological systems, navigation and relay equipment. The partners also plan to develop equipment for nanosatellites for various purposes.
Kubsat is a format of small artificial Earth satellites for space exploration. The smallest cubsat looks like a cube with a face of 10 centimeters and a mass of no more than 1.5 kilograms. Satellites of size 6U have increased dimensions and functionality compared to the basic version.
As part of the agreement, partners will work out technological solutions for existing satellite constellations. The development and production of satellites for various purposes will create a domestic base for space research. The project is aimed at the development of Russian technologies in the field of small spacecraft.
Dmitriyev recalled that Russia is working on the development of a transport system with a nuclear power plant. With the help of the technology, it will be possible to deliver up to 10 tons of payload to the Okolomarsian orbit. The system opens up fundamentally new horizons for long-range space missions.[1]
