Kazakhstan and China launched the Di'er-5 nanosatellite from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre aboard a Kuaizhou-11 rocket. Developed by Al-Farabi Kazakh National University and Northwestern Polytechnical University, the satellite focuses on Earth observation with capabilities for high-precision motion and autonomous data processing.

Kazakhstan plans to launch another satellite in 2026 and is involved in the International Lunar Research Station project, with a lunar-orbit telescope scheduled for 2029. Kazakhstan's space sector benefits from Chinese support and aims to enhance its technological and educational capacities.
