The Turkic states intend to jointly launch the scientific
and technological satellite CubeSat into space. Specialists from Uzbekistan are
working together with their Kazakh counterparts on its assembly. Kazakhstan
began developing the satellite, which is equipped with a camera and various
instruments for conducting research, last year. Experts say the satellite will
be used to capture space-based images of agricultural areas. In 2024, the five
member states of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) - Kazakhstan,
Uzbekistan, Türkiye, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Azerbaijan - signed an
international agreement on the joint exploration of outer space.
