Advantages of small scientific space projects

Currently, only ambitious large-scale scientific projects are presented in the federal space program of Russia. These projects are characterized by both technical and financial difficulties. These difficulties can be leveled by the formation of a small but stable government order for small and medium-sized scientific space projects. The release of these projects through the structures of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education will also help to develop new approaches that will allow, in the future, to significantly increase efficiency in terms of the cost and timing of projects.
