Moscow, September 4th. JSC Reshetnev has successfully launched Russia`s first conveyor assembly line dedicated to the production of satellites weighing up to 300 kilograms. This significant development was announced by the press service of Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov.
During a recent working visit to the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Manturov had the opportunity to personally assess the advanced production capabilities of JSC Reshetnev. Evgeny Nesterov, the General Director of the company, provided Manturov with an update on the establishment and operational commencement of this new domestic conveyor line, specifically designed for assembling spacecraft up to 300 kg and their integral components.
The introduction of this serial production method is poised to drastically reduce the manufacturing lead times for space vehicles. It will also facilitate the swift deployment of multi-satellite orbital constellations, ensuring the delivery of high-quality satellite services to consumers throughout Russia.
Manturov underscored that the objective set for Roscosmos to implement conveyor-belt satellite production has now been fulfilled. He remarked that efforts are already in progress to secure future orders to maximize the utilization of this cutting-edge line, expressing strong confidence in the team`s achievements. According to Manturov, this initiative represents a crucial step towards accelerating the national “Cosmos” project and enabling the launch of a greater number of satellites for diverse purposes, including critical applications like remote Earth sensing.
