By 2030, seven of the 12 communications and broadcasting satellites that are part of the company's orbital group must be replaced. Kosmicheskaya Svyaz will finance one of them independently; it will cost 10.8 billion rubles.
, which owns the largest bosnia and herzegovina cell phone number list orbital group of communications and broadcasting satellites in Russia, will not be able to carry out its necessary modernization using only its own funds and will discuss the allocation of budget money for these purposes. This was reported by the company's general director Alexey Volin at a round table held on November 28 in the Federation Council.

He explained that seven of the 12 satellites in the group will need to be replaced by 2030, as they will have reached the end of their active lifespan (ALS). One of them, Express-AM44, will be replaced in 2026 by Express-AMU4, which will become the first Russian communications and broadcasting satellite assembled entirely from domestic components. The ALS of the remaining six satellites will expire in 2029–2030, Volin explained.

"Considering that it takes four years to make a satellite, starting in 2024 we will have to start laying down and doing work on new satellites. Because we are financing [the replacement of] AM44 from our own [money], but this is the last satellite that we can make with our own funds," the CEO of "Kosmicheskaya Svyaz" clarified. "Further, both the ministry and the government are already aware that we will discuss, among other things, the budgetary part of maintaining and modernizing the Russian satellite group."

He noted that the enterprise, together with Roscosmos, had developed a strategy for replacing spacecraft, and the state corporation had given "first preliminary approval." "We will go to the ministry and the government together with this program," Volin concluded.
