The First Armenian-Made Satellite to Be Launched into Space by SpaceX Rocket at the End of November

The Armenian Bazoomq Space Research Laboratory, whose mission is to create and continuously develop capabilities and opportunities for cutting-edge space research, education, and the formation of startups in Armenia, is working on a CubeSat satellite named Hayasat-1.

In an interview with Armenpress, Bazoomq co-founder, council member, and technical director Haik Martirosyan stated that the testing of the satellite will be completed by the end of September, and it will be sent into space in November via SpaceX's Falcon-9 rocket.

“Hayasat-1, which we are building in partnership with the Center for Scientific Innovation and Education (CSIE), has an educational purpose. After the flight, we will gain immense knowledge and experience that we can apply when sending more complex satellites into space in the future. We have tried to start from the simplest form since there are many bureaucratic issues that Armenia is facing for the first time. Sending a satellite into space requires various approvals. Many steps are the first for our country, and imagine – Armenia will have an asset that exists not only in our country but also in space,” said Martirosyan.
