About

The State Space Corporation Roscosmos is Russia’s national space agency responsible for the Russian space program, including crewed flights, launch vehicles, satellites, and international cooperation on the ISS and beyond.

The State Space Corporation Roscosmos is the national space agency of the Russian Federation. It oversees all civil space activities, astronaut training and the development of the Soyuz and Angara launch vehicle families. Operating primarily from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia's Far East, the agency is responsible for launching crewed missions to the International Space Station and deploying Russia's GLONASS navigation satellites.

Following geopolitical shifts in the 2020s, Roscosmos lost much of its Western commercial launch business and pivoted heavily toward domestic military payloads, lunar exploration programs and space partnerships with China. The modern corporation was formed in 2015, absorbing the previous federal space agency established in 1992. It is headquartered in Moscow.
