Russia’s new Glonass satellites to cost 4 times as much as older models

MOSCOW, November 16 (Sputnik) - Russia’s next-generation Glonass-K2 navigation satellites that will be launched into orbit starting from next year will cost four times as much as the older, Glonass-M, models currently in operation, documents of the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, obtained by Sputnik show.
The Glonass-K2 satellites appear to be twice as expensive as the Glonass-K1 model, which, in turn, is twice as expensive as the Glonass-M satellite. Roscosmos files do not reveal any details relating to the reasons behind the hike in satellite costs.
Director General of the ISS-Reshetnev "Information Satellite Systems" Company Nikolay Testoedov told Sputnik that Glonass-K2 flight tests were expected to start in 2021 and Russia planned to make 15 such satellites.
