The first launch of the launch vehicle is planned for 2026.Also in 2024, the creation of the Baiterek spacecraft with the Soyuz-5 medium-class launch vehicle continued together with Kazakhstan. The first rocket is being manufactured, and its launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome is expected in 2025.
Implementation of the federal project "Sphere"This year, the implementation of the federal project "Sphere", including orbital groupings of communication and remote sensing spacecraft, continued.To carry out priority work on the project in 2021, 7.0 billion rubles in subsidies were allocated from the federal budget to Roscosmos organizations: the Central Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering - to carry out research and development work "Laser", "Tsifra", "Tiporyad" and services for their support, the company "RESHETNEV" - for work on the systems "Skif" and "Marathon". As a result, positive fundamental results were achieved.In the direction of "Tiporyad", in 2024, a scalable unified space platform of the same name was developed, designed to create on its basis in a short time small spacecraft for various purposes. The obtained experimental model and its components will be used during ground testing of two experimental optical-electronic remote sensing satellites "Berkut-VR" and one experimental radar remote sensing satellite "Berkut-RSA" being developed at the Scientific and Production Association named after S.A. Lavochkin (part of Roscosmos). Their launches are planned for 2026-2027. In the future, the groups are expected to increase: "Berkut-VR" - up to 30 satellites, "Berkut-RSA" - up to 24 satellites. In the "Digital" direction, key elements of an experimental model of a flexible digital payload with the ability to be reconfigured and reprogrammed in orbit were created in order to test and justify the main technical solutions, parameters and characteristics intended for use in promising low-orbit communication satellites. These results, in particular, are planned to be used as a basis for the promising experimental design work "Tsifra" with the aim of creating a flexible digital payload for promising low-orbit satellite communication systems.In the "Laser" direction, experimental samples of ground and onboard terminals for high-speed space laser communication were developed, manufactured and successfully tested to increase the speed of information transfer. In the future, it is planned to conduct flight and experimental studies of onboard terminals as part of the Berkut-VR spacecraft.As part of the "Sphere" project, by 2027 it is planned to launch conveyor production of Marathon data transmission satellites at the RESHETNEV company and optical-electronic and radar satellites "Berkut" at NPO Lavochkin.In May 2024, a contract was signed for the creation of four Skif broadband Internet access satellites, which, together with two ordered in 2023, are planned to be launched into orbit in 2027-2028. In the future, this group is expected to increase to 12 satellites.This year, the production of the Marathon data transmission satellites continued. The launch of experimental and prototype satellites is planned for 2025, five pre-production ones - in 2026, 132 production ones - in 2027-2029. Subsequently, this group is expected to increase to 264 satellites.In 2024, the creation of highly elliptical communications satellites Express-RV continued to form an orbital group of 4 satellites in 2026. The Express-AMU4 and Yamal-501 telecommunications satellites were also being created, with launches scheduled for 2026.In addition, this year, two experimental optical-electronic remote sensing satellites, Pixel-VR, were being created, with launches expected in 2026.Also, NPO Lavochkin began work on creating a demonstration optical-electronic remote sensing satellite, Berkut-VD, with an ultra-high linear resolution of 0.5 meters.In addition, in 2024, acceptance tests of four experimental optical-electronic remote sensing satellites, Griffin, were completed, with launches scheduled for 2025. Starting in 2026, it is planned to deploy the orbital group of serial Sfera-Griffin satellites, bringing them up to the standard composition of 132 satellites. On October 9, 2024, at the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum, a roadmap was signed for Roscosmos to join Gazprom SPKA through the United Rocket and Space Corporation. The implementation of the roadmap will allow for joint projects with the State Corporation to be carried out at the Gazprom SPKA spacecraft assembly facility for a wide range of customers. In particular, promising satellites will be created for the Gazprom Group for the Sfera project: two Yamal telecommunications spacecraft and nine Smotr optical-electronic and radar remote sensing spacecraft.International cooperation...In 2024, the development of the Russian-Belarusian optical-electronic satellite RBKA, the launch of which into orbit is expected in 2028, continued.Together with China and other countries, the International Scientific Lunar Station was developed. As Russia's contribution to the project, it is planned, in particular, to deliver and install a nuclear power plant on the surface of the Moon in 2033-2035....Development of the Vostochny CosmodromeIn 2024, the completion of the construction of the first-stage facilities and the construction of the second-stage facilities continued at the Vostochny Cosmodrome.The main one among them is the launch complex at site 1A, from which the first stage of the flight testing of the Amur spacecraft with the Angara-A5 launch vehicle began in April. Preparations are underway at the launch complex for the second stage of the flight testing of the Amur spacecraft with the Angara-A5M launch vehicle and the flight tests of the PTK. In 2026-2028, it is planned to modify the launch complex to support launches of the Angara-1.2 LV.On September 24, 2024, the runway with the accompanying infrastructure of the airport complex was put into operation, which allows technical flights to be carried out by aircraft of the state aviation of Roscosmos.The construction of a new assembly and test building for the preparation of the upper stage and automatic and manned spacecraft for launch by Angara rockets also continued.In addition, a technical project was being developed for the creation of the launch complex of the Amur-SPG spacecraft and locations were identified for the placement of technical and launch complexes for the preparation and launches of the Start-1M LV....An example of a PPP in the space sector was the conclusion in March between the State Corporation, the Experimental Design Bureau "Fifth Generation" ("OKB5") and the company "Satellite System "Gonets" (part of Roscosmos) of an agreement on the creation of a promising multi-satellite orbital group of small communication satellites "Gonets.MKA" and the corresponding ground infrastructure with the involvement of private investment. According to OKB5, the launch of the first two satellites is planned for 2025, the expansion of the group to 40 satellites - by the end of 2027.

Начиная с 2025 года длительности полётов кораблей «Союз МС» планируется увеличить с шести до семи-девяти месяцев, что позволит сэкономить по одному кораблю каждые два года.Также в следующем году для поддержания надёжности функционирования МКС и гарантированного присутствия как минимум одного российского космонавта на российском сегменте и как минимум одного американского астронавта на американском сегменте станции будет подписано третье дополнение к договорённости между Роскосмосом и NASA по полётам интегрированных экипажей на МКС (перекрёстным полётам). Соглашением будут дополнительно предусмотрены два полёта астронавтов NASA на кораблях «Союз МС-28» и «Союз МС-29» в 2025 и 2026 годах, соответственно, и три полёта космонавтов Роскосмоса на кораблях Crew Dragon (ещё один дополнительный полет в 2025 году и по одному в 2026 и 2027 годах).
Starting from 2025, the flight duration of Soyuz MS spacecraft is planned to be increased from six to seven to nine months, which will save one spacecraft every two years.Also next year, in order to maintain the reliability of the ISS operation and guarantee the presence of at least one Russian cosmonaut on the Russian segment and at least one American astronaut on the American segment of the station, a third addendum to the agreement between Roscosmos and NASA on integrated crew flights to the ISS (crossover flights) will be signed. The agreement will additionally provide for two flights of NASA astronauts on Soyuz MS-28 and Soyuz MS-29 in 2025 and 2026, respectively, and three flights of Roscosmos cosmonauts on Crew Dragon spacecraft (one additional flight in 2025 and one each in 2026 and 2027).
So from this year Soyuz launches are to take place not every 6 months as now, but every 7-9 months. So we have to wait for Roskosmos to give specific dates.

So we have to wait for Roskosmos to give specific dates.If we factor in MS-26 lasting just less than eight months (early September to late April) and assume a slow ramp-up of flight length, since this is a new thing, it might look something like this:MS-27: early April to early December 2025 (8 months)MS-28: late November 2025 to late July 2026 (8 months)MS-29: mid July 2026 to late March 2027 (8.5 months)MS-30: early March to mid November 2027 (8.5 months)MS-31: early November 2027 to mid July 2028 (8.5 months)MS-32: early July 2028 to late March 2029 (9 months)MS-33: mid March 2029 to mid December 2029 (9 months)MS-34: early December 2029 to early September 2030 (9 months)
