Ekspress-AMU 4
Ekspress-AMU 4 [ISS Reshetnev]
The Ekspress-AMU 4 is a planned communications satellite for Russian domestic communication services.
The spacecraft was ordered in June 2022 and will be built entirely of Russian components, based on the Ekspress-1000N platform due to sanctions imposed because of the Russian attack on Ukraine.
The satellite is to be launched in 2026 and to be stationed at 11.0° West to replace Ekspress-AM 44.
