But we understand that it is necessary to have the grouping.
On an example of «Meteor-M» we see that our space-rocket industry possesses the big scientific and technical and industrial potential. Reached at creation of the companion level of domestic technologies, quality of the information, resolution of devices – correspond foreign, and in a set of equipment «Meteor-M» even surpasses the American and European analogues. I would like to thank Roskosmos that in our hard time we do such break, – V.N.Djadjuchenko has told.
