Get ready, space enthusiasts! 🚀 Russia is gearing up for a massive leap into the cosmos with plans to launch over 100 spacecraft by the end of 2024! 🌌✨
According to local media reports on Friday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov announced the ambitious plan aimed at expanding the country's orbital constellation, which already boasts more than 240 spacecraft. 🛰️
\"Russia has launched more than 20 spacecraft to bolster our domestic orbital constellation in 2024,\" Manturov stated. \"We plan to launch a total of 123 spacecraft this year, including 70 small ones.\" 🌠
Earlier this year, Yury Borisov, head of Russia's state space corporation Roscosmos, highlighted that Russia is set to carry out over 40 space launches in 2024. With these launches, Russia aims to enhance its presence in space and contribute to global space exploration efforts. 🌍🚀
