Greetings on Space Forces Day

The President sent greetings to the high command of Space Forces, their active and former personnel on their professional holiday, Space Forces Day.

October 4, 2024
10:00

The message reads, in part:

“You rightly take pride in the remarkable, heroic pages in the history of Space Forces, the military and labour achievements of many generations of servicemen, scientists, engineers and civilian specialists. Of course, one of the most significant and truly unforgettable events in the annals of the space industry was the launch of the first man-made Earth satellite on October 4, 1957. This event marked the beginning of the era of exploring near-Earth space, extensive scientific research and the development of advanced technologies.

It is important that today the personnel of the Space Forces uphold and advance the traditions of honest and selfless service to the Fatherland established by their predecessors and veterans. They must display a high level of training and stand firm in safeguarding Russia’s strategic interests.

I want to emphasise that your primary and most important objectives include conducting experimental space operations and tests, as well as the adopting modern high-tech equipment into service. Among these, the Angara space rocket system holds a top priority. It is set to play a crucial role in ensuring Russia’s independent and guaranteed access to outer space.

I am confident that you will continue to make a unique contribution to expanding the combat potential of the Armed Forces and to strengthening the defence capability and national security of our country.”
