"We would like to deploy some 20 satellites by 2025. Currently, we have seven [satellites] launched; last year we launched one; this year there will be three more, hopefully [they] will fly," Sazonov told a science cafe meeting organized by the Andrey Melnichenko Foundation. The dean added that MSU is also planning to deploy five receiving stations on the territory of Russia. Sazonov noted that the university was in talks with Iran about sending a satellite and deploying a receiving station in the country. Talks on launching student satellites were also underway with Brazil, India, and Belarus.
