Azimov shared an important development within the scope of the “Cube Satellite Project” launched by the Organization of Turkish States last year. He stated that an agreement was reached to form an engineer team to develop a joint satellite on behalf of the Turkish states. This team, which will be formed by sending engineers from each country, will work in a research center in Kazakhstan. The Organization of Turkish States aims to launch a cube satellite with this team of engineers.

Azimov’s relevant statement is as follows;

“We are now discussing the results of the activity of this group. At the meeting, we agreed to form a special team of engineers to work on the joint satellite on behalf of the Turkish states. This team will continue its activities at the research center in Kazakhstan. Our member states will send their engineers to Kazakhstan to begin their research. Our ultimate goal is to launch a cubesat on behalf of TDT. “Our aim with this is to investigate the environmental conditions in our member states and to implement some studies.”

Increasing TDT cooperation was emphasized

Azimov emphasized that cooperation on space research should be increased between universities and research centers within the framework of the Organization of Turkish States (TDT). He made the following statement regarding this:

“Türkiye makes a great contribution to the development of space cooperation within our organization. We were proud that Turkey recently sent its first astronaut into space. Now they will send the Turksat 6A satellite into orbit, and this will of course benefit the country a lot. Turkey’s experience in the space field will be very useful for our other Turkish states. Türkiye is ready to share its experience and knowledge.”
