The spacecraft design time is planned to be reduced by 30%. This was stated on October 14 by the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov during his speech at the government hour in the State Duma (State Duma).

"I would like to mention the strategic task of transferring the production of small and medium-sized spacecraft from the slipway to the on-line assembly principle. The measures planned, including in the national profile project, should reduce the product design time by 30%," he said.

Reducing the assembly time of the devices will allow Roscosmos to increase labor productivity growth by 15%. In addition, Manturov noted that the corporation is already implementing a robotics program to ensure efficiency at enterprises.
