OREANDA-NEWS  The launch of several satellites of the Russian space group "Express" was postponed for one or two years. This is reported by TASS with reference to the presentation of the general Director of "Space Communications" Alexey Volin.

During the round table meeting of the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy, the head said that by 2030, "out of 12 spacecraft, 7 of our spacecraft will need to be replaced, because they will work out the period of active existence." "Our problem is that we launched satellites quite a lot, but they will also start to fail in a heap," Volin said.

In the presentation presented by the CEO, it is indicated that the launch of "Express-AMU6" will take place in 2029 instead of 2027, and "Express-36", "Express-AMU8", "Express-AT3" and "Express-AT4" - in 2030 instead of 2029.
