The space program for 2006-2015, which was approved by the Russian government today, does not include any miltiary components - these are handled separately through the armament program of the Ministry of Defense. However, Anatoly Perminov, the head of Rosaviakosmos, mentioned that the cost of military programs will be comparable to that of their civilian counterparts. The civilians got 305 billion rubles for ten years (roughly $11 billion), so the military space will get about 30 billion rubles a year.
