The Russian orbital space group will have more than 70 spacecraft by 2015 under to a draft federal space program for 2006-2015, an official from the Federal Space Agency said.
According to the official, there are currently 33 spacecraft in the orbital group.
The program, which will be discussed Thursday at a government session, envisaged putting into orbit a series of communications and TV broadcasting satellites, meteorological satellites, research spacecraft, and also two Sterkh spacecraft for Russia to participate in the international search and tracking system.
The official said the program saw developing and replenishing the current orbital group as a priority.
The program also includes developing a reusable spacecraft, the Kliper, together with European countries and promising launch vehicles such as the Angara and Soyuz-2, and also the Fobos-grunt project to take samples of subsoil from a moon of Mars, Fobos.
Another priority of the program is to support and develop the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS) and maintain ground infrastructure, above all, major launching sites such as Baikonur in Kazakhstan and Plesetsk in northern Russia.
This would be Russia's third federal space program. The first one was completed in 2000, and the second is finishing this year.
