Russian space program in 2022

As in 2021, the bulk of Russian launches in 2022 would be for the OneWeb Internet constellation. A total of seven launches were planned to carry OneWeb satellites, including one from French Guiana. The second largest share of launches would be in support of the ISS project. Both sides of the program would rely on the Soyuz-2 series. In the meantime, Col. General Sergei Karakaev, the commander of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces, promised 10 launches of ICBMs during 2022. After invasion of Ukraine on February 24 and subsequent exodus of Roskosmos' last foreign customers including OneWeb, Head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin still promised 20 space launches before the end of 2022, including no less than five from Vostochny spaceport. According to the Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov, Russia launched 52 satellites in 2022. The Russian space budget was reported to be 224 billion rubles in 2023.

CANCELLED, September 20, 14:10 UTC: A Proton-M rocket with a Briz-M stage to launch the ExoMars rover from Baikonur. In case of on-time launch, the spacecraft was scheduled to land on Mars on June 10, 2023 at 15:32 UTC. The launch window open until October 1, 2022. (As of September 2020. There were earlier reports expecting the launch in August 2022.)


CANCELLED, December: A Soyuz-ST/Fregat rocket to launch Europe's Euclid telescope from Kourou on a mission to map the distribution of galaxies. (As of October 2011, the launch was expected in December 2020. The mission got final approval in June 2012 , then still targeting the launch in 2020. By the end of 2015, the launch was confirmed in December 2020, however by the Fall of 2021, the launch was promised at the end of 2022.


Delayed from 2020 and cancelled: An Angara-1.2 rocket to launch the South-Korean Kompsat-6 remote-sensing satellite from Site 35 in Plesetsk. The agreement for the launch in 2020 was announced in July 2016.
