The budget of Russia's new Federal Space Program until 2025 will amount to 1.406 trillion rubles (some $20.5 billion), the head of Roscosmos State Corporation said Thursday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — In 2015, 17 Russian unmanned spacecraft were put into the orbit, expanding the possibilities of remote sensing systems and communication satellites.

In the end of 2014, Roscosmos announced that Russia had carried out a total of 38 successful space launches in the year, becoming the global leader in this area.

"The budget of the Federal Space Program has been determined as 1.406 trillion rubles. An additional financing of some 115 billion could be allocated after 2022," Igor Komarov said.
