Maxim Penkov, an adviser to the general director of JSC TsNIIMash, which is a part of Roscosmos, reported that work is underway on a federal project focused on the information and analytical support system for the safety of space activities in the near-Earth domain. The initiative has commenced within the Russian Federation and is being tracked by TASS. The project aims to create a comprehensive framework that integrates data, analytics, and decision-support capabilities to monitor and manage space operations with a focus on risk mitigation and safety standards across all mission phases.
Officials emphasize that the envisioned system will feature an advanced technical footprint, bringing together a wide range of ground-based and spaceborne assets. Its scale will require coordination across multiple facilities and sectors, including the involvement of specialized development organizations linked to various federal executive authorities. Given the system’s breadth, a program-targeted approach is considered the most effective path for planning and implementing the federal project. In parallel with ongoing research, substantial efforts are directed toward drafting the governing policy and guidance that will shape the system’s objectives, governance, and implementation milestones.
Earlier, the Russian satellite relay Luch-5X, launched by a Proton-M rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome on the night of March 13, re-entered the operating orbit after deployment, marking a notable milestone in Russia’s space infrastructure and communications capabilities. This event underscores the ongoing strategic emphasis on secure, reliable space communication networks and the essential role of robust safety and analytical systems in supporting future missions.
