Kazakhstan and China Launch Joint Di'er-5 Nanosatellite for Earth Observation
Kazakhstan and China successfully launched the Di'er-5 nanosatellite from China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre aboard a Kuaizhou-11 rocket. Developed by Al-Farabi Kazakh National University and Northwestern Polytechnical University, the nanosatellite is designed for high-precision motion control and autonomous data processing in orbit. It is part of an international experimental mission aimed at environmental monitoring and data collection. Kazakhstan is advancing its space technology capabilities, with future plans for additional satellite launches and collaborations in lunar research.
