There are two prospective cosmonauts, but they are facing lack of opportunities as Russia-made Soyuz rockets are now the only means of transporting cosmonauts of all countries to the ISS: Talgat Mussabayev, Head of the National Space Agency KazKosmos.
According to him, some joint projects have been outlined with Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna and Kurchatov Institute Russian Research Center in Moscow.
KazKosmos representatives met APSCO representatives to study opportunities which could be brought about following Kazakhstan’s accession into the Organization.
Kazakhstan and Belarus might unite their remote Earth-sensing satellites and use their data jointly. Space technologies “are becoming a tool for solving economic tasks,” Moldabekov.
Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center has not sorted out some minor faults so far: Viktor Lefter, Head of the Kazakhstan’s Center for Space Communications.
