‘Azerkosmos’ OJSC prepares to launch low-orbit satellite
Azerbaijan is expected to start launching low-orbit satellites into orbit in the next few years in order to survey earth surface for security, scientific research, economical and other purposes.
As part of ‘The State Program for the creation and development of the space industry in the Republic of Azerbaijan’, preparatory activities are being currently implemented in the republic to this end. The ‘Azerkosmos’ OJSC began to create low-orbit satellites based on the requirements for technical parameters of satellites and results of research of domestic and international markets of low-orbit satellites.
