MOSCOW, November 12. /TASS/. Dmitry Bakanov, CEO of Russia’s state space corporation Roscosmos, at a meeting with heads of diplomatic missions on Thursday proposed cooperation within the framework of the Russian broadband Internet access system currently under development.

"We are creating our own low-Earth orbit segment for broadband Internet access. We invite all countries to connect to it, because the fundamental difference of our system is its complete information security, achieved by establishing stations and segments in your countries that will be controlled solely by your security agencies," he said.

In 2026, Russia’s private aerospace company Bureau 1440 successfully launched the first two batches of spacecraft for the Rassvet low-Earth orbit constellation. The spacecraft are equipped with 5G NTN-based communication, an upgraded power supply system, next-generation inter-satellite laser communication terminals, and a plasma propulsion system.
