MOSCOW, December 12. /TASS/. Roscosmos intends to increase the share of civilian and dual-use products in the total output of the rocket and space industry to at least 50%, General Director of Russia’s state-run space corporation Roscosmos Dmitry Bakanov said at a meeting on the diversification of production at defense industry enterprises.

"The corporation faces the task of ensuring that high-tech civilian and dual-use products account for at least 50% of the total output of the rocket and space industry by 2030. This decision is intended to play a key role in ensuring high-quality and technologically advanced medical rehabilitation," Bakanov was quoted as saying by Roscosmos.
