Kazakhstan to launch Earth observation satellite production

Kazakhstan is set to produce Earth remote sensing satellites at its assembly and testing complex for spacecraft. The plan is to produce 60 percent of KazEOSat-MR medium-resolution satellites, replacing the current KazEOSat-2. According to the Kazakh Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry, design work is currently underway, with production scheduled to commence next year. This project opens up new prospects for Kazakhstan to enter the global market of space equipment manufacturers. It is noteworthy that satellite data is widely used for digitizing various sectors of economy, particularly in agriculture.
