Russian govt should oblige domestic operators to buy space services only from Roscosmos - Rogozin

MOSCOW. March 3 (Interfax) - Roscosmos is in talks with the government to oblige Russian operators and bodies of authority to buy space services only from Roscosmos, Roscosmos CEO Dmitry Rogozin said.

"We also insist that all our Russian operators and federal bodies of executive authority buy space services, including Earth remote sensing and communications, only from us. It will help sharply expand the domestic market of space services use. We are conducting such talks with the government, and we will, of course, receive support," Rogozin said on Rossiya-24 television.
