"Uzbekcosmos" Discussed Satellite Launch Opportunities with SpaceX
Technology
Uzbekistan's vast deserts and ancient traditions of astronomy are now merging with modern technology, rising to a new stage. The official visit of the Uzbek Space Research and Technology Agency "Uzbekcosmos" to the United States was not just a diplomatic trip, but a historic mission bringing our dreams closer to orbit.
The negotiations held in Los Angeles with SpaceX representatives were more than a formal meeting. They symbolized the results of hard work, determination, and the high aspirations of young Uzbek engineers. Of particular significance was the discussion of launching a satellite being assembled by Uzbek students at Kyushu Institute of Technology (Japan) aboard a SpaceX rocket—an open door to future achievements.
The parties also thoroughly discussed the “Space Research and Technologies – 2035” strategy. SpaceX expressed willingness to contribute expert opinions and suggestions to the draft version of the strategy. This shows Uzbekistan's readiness to cooperate closely with the global space community.
The delegation's firsthand acquaintance with SpaceX’s production facilities and their exchange of experience regarding the Falcon 9 rocket further enriched Uzbekistan’s technological thinking. Moreover, the insights gained in California on using satellite data to monitor water consumption offer valuable lessons—paving the way for environmental sustainability and the protection of water resources in Uzbekistan.
During the visit, prospects for collaboration were discussed with leading companies such as Esri, Davids Engineering, and Land IQ. In particular, the dialogue with Esri—the global leader in geospatial software—holds promise for developing digital mapping, land monitoring, and resource management capabilities in Uzbekistan.
At the Space Symposium international conference, attended by representatives from over 40 countries, the "Uzbekcosmos" delegation signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korea Aerospace Administration (KASA). The agreement includes cooperation in space education, satellite development, and technology exchange.
Additionally, consultations were held with the French consulting firm Novaspace to support the successful implementation of the national strategy. One of the most exciting developments was the discussion of potentially hosting the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Uzbekistan in 2028.
