Summary
Space Research Institute (IKI RAS)
research government legacy
COSMOS-SN-AS, registered as SpaceNet, is the network of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) on Profsoyuznaya Street in Moscow. IKI is Russia's leading institute for space science.
What it's used for
- Networking for the institute itself: research groups, spacecraft science data handling, and the computing that supports its missions and instruments.
- Connectivity for associated scientific organisations reached through the SpaceNet network.
Notable
- A state research institute rather than a commercial operator. Addresses here belong to scientists and institutional systems, not to subscribers.
- Research and academic bodies were the internet's first users in most countries, and they are heavily represented among the low AS numbers.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
