ROSCOSMOS

The State Space Corporation "Roscosmos" (ROSCOSMOS) was established in July 2015, replacing the Federal Space Agency "Roscosmos". The reform was aimed at improving the governance of space activities and supporting the development of the Russian space industry, including cooperation between the public and private sectors. ROSCOSMOS is an authorized state body in the field of space activities responsible for developing and implementing the Russian Federation’s state space policy. Its responsibilities include managing the national space project "Space" and implementing relevant federal programs in line with state priorities in the field of space activities. Taking into account the political, economic, scientific, technical and legal aspects of space activities, ROSCOSMOS organizes the development, production and operation of launch vehicles, spacecraft and scientific payloads. The Corporation also contributes to the development of national space policy and legislation preserving the peaceful use of outer space and promotes the long-term sustainable socio-economic development of the country. It coordinates the development of new space technologies, orbital constellations and ground infrastructure, fostering the application of space technologies in various sectors of the economy. Within its responsibilities, the Corporation coordinates its work with relevant state bodies and cooperates with public and private organizations in the Russian Federation. An important area of ROSCOSMOS’ activities is the promotion of international cooperation in the exploration and peaceful use of outer space. ROSCOSMOS plays an active role in COPUOS and its Subcommittees, as well as in other international and regional organizations involved in space activities. The Corporation works with foreign partners, space agencies and international organizations on joint projects, scientific and technological cooperation providing expertise and sharing its experience in a wide range of areas, including Earth observation, satellite communications, global navigation, environmental monitoring and scientific research. The Corporation also contributes to the development of international space law and promotes cooperation in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space for the benefit of all nations.
