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 was to be launched in 2026 and to be stationed at 11.0 West to replace Ekspress-AM 44. It has been delayed to 2028.
