Russia is creating its own satellite network, "Rassvet"
Published
Russia has begun work on creating a new satellite network, which has been named "Rassvet" (Dawn). This project is aimed at developing communication technologies and the control of unmanned aerial vehicles. According to experts, the new system could become a Russian analogue to the global Starlink satellite network.
It is expected that the deployment of the network will allow Russian specialists to control drones, including Shahed-type UAVs, and other types of equipment in real time. This will significantly increase the accuracy and efficiency of systems over long distances, where the use of standard radio communication is difficult.
According to preliminary estimates by specialists, it may take about six months to create a fully functional system. During this period, the launch of the necessary satellites and the setup of ground infrastructure, which will ensure a stable signal for data transmission, are planned.
Developing its own satellite technologies is an important step toward ensuring the country's technological sovereignty. If the "Rassvet" project is successful, Russia will gain an independent tool for managing modern high-tech communication assets, which could significantly change the capabilities for using unmanned systems in the future.
