BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 23. One of the goals of
the CubeSat project is to achieve environmental objectives of the
region, the Deputy Chairman of the Azercosmos Board, Dunay
Badirkhanov, said during the 4th meeting of space agencies of the
OTS, Trend
reports.
“A promising example of developing regional cooperation is the
CubeSat project initiated last year within the OTS. Azerbaijan has
expressed its readiness to implement this initiative in close
cooperation with the OTS member states, utilizing a cost-effective
and scalable satellite model to promote technical cooperation and
knowledge sharing. In addition to the technical component, the
initiative is also aimed at achieving the environmental goals of
the region,” he said.
According to Badirkhanov, equipped with advanced sensors, these
CubeSat satellites will monitor carbon dioxide and methane
emissions, providing important data to combat climate change and
strengthen regional environmental capabilities.
“Azercosmos also actively supports international cooperation
through geospatial training programs. In partnership with the
Commonwealth of Nations, we have also developed a program to
strengthen climate resilience using space-based technologies and
geographic information system (GIS)-based data analysis.
The initiative includes training and consultancy focused on
remote sensing and environmental monitoring. In the near future, we
are looking at expanding such programs to Turkic partner
countries,” he said.
