Roscosmos wants to sell satellite images to government agencies, Vedomosti writes.
The government commission easily submits to the State Duma a bill from Roscosmos, which allows state corporations to sell Earth remote sensing data from space (ERS).
Roscosmos will be the only supplier of remote sensing data and products created on their basis. Also consider providing additional accessories to government agencies free of charge.
The state corporation will become the only supplier of remote sensing data for federal and regional authorities. As a result, the company plans to earn up to 89 billion rubles by 2035.
At the same time, Roscosmos will provide only 67% of consumers, the remaining 33% must open an orbital constellation of commercial operators.
In addition, if the law is adopted, it will only come into force on January 1, 2025. This is due to the fact that in the budget for 2023-2025. no funds are provided for the purchase of satellite equipment to provide power. [Ведомости]
