Bureau 1440’s Rassvet-2 mission tested solar cells, laser-link terminals, a telemetry link, and onboard computers.
Buro-1440 launched a trio of Rassvet test satellites in 2024.
The stack shown contains 16 Rassvet satellites.
Bureau 1440’s Rassvet-1 mission prepared Bureau 1440 infrastructure, confirmed the team’s competencies, and developed key satellite platform technologies.
Bureau 1440’s Rassvet-3 mission in 2026 will deploy 16 Rassvet Gen1 satellites weighing about 370 kg each.
Bureau 1440’s Rassvet-2 mission in 2024 used 3 prototypes weighing 120 kg each.
Bureau 1440’s Rassvet-3 mission in 2026 uses 16 Rassvet Gen1 satellites weighing about 370 kg each.
Bureau 1440’s Rassvet-2 mission tested satellite subsystems including solar cells, laser-link terminals, telemetry, and onboard computers.
Bureau 1440’s Rassvet-1 mission focused on preparing Bureau 1440 infrastructure, confirming the team’s competencies, and developing key satellite platform technologies.
The Rassvet satellite stack will contain 16 satellites.
Bureau 1440’s Rassvet-3 mission marks the start of Rassvet satellite constellation deployment.
Bureau 1440’s Rassvet-1 mission in 2023 used 3 prototypes weighing 80 kg each.
Commercial operations involving the first 250 satellites of the Rassvet constellation are projected to start in 2027.
Bureau 1440 currently has only six experimental satellites in orbit, launched during the Rassvet-1 and Rassvet-2 missions.
Each satellite in the Rassvet project is designed to operate in Low Earth Orbit to provide high-speed, low-latency connectivity.
Industry sources indicate that the production line for the Rassvet project has failed to meet the necessary production volume.
The delay in the Rassvet project is attributed to production failures and incomplete assembly of the required spacecraft.
The federal budget has allocated 102.8 billion rubles ($1.36 billion) toward the Rassvet project as part of Russia’s national 'Data Economy' program.
The launch of the first batch of satellites for the 'Rassvet' Low Earth Orbit constellation has been rescheduled for 2026.
The broader strategic goal of the Rassvet project is to deploy a 900-satellite constellation by 2035.
