English / overview
A reviewed public atlas of Kazakhstan’s space-sector infrastructure and evidence.
Qazaqstan.Space maps Baikonur, Baiterek, KazSat, KazEOSat-1/2, Earth observation, the National Space Center and dated sector signals. It is an editorial snapshot, not live telemetry, a launch calendar or a procurement result.
32 entities
Baikonur, Baiterek, KazSat, KazEOSat, Akkol, the National Space Center and assembly/testing infrastructure.
146 claims
Each published fact is tied to a dated source and claim record before it appears in the atlas or media.
KazEOSat data
KGS public sources identify KazEOSat-1 at 1 m, KazEOSat-2 at 6.5 m, and a 2025 Sentinel Asia snapshot with 288 KazEOSat-1 scenes.
Safe geography
The atlas uses public country/facility/system-level context and avoids sensitive operational coordinates.
English pages
The method and sector register are available in English and use the same sources and claims.

Reviewed public data
One source set powers the map, register, media and data files.
English pages use the same sources, claims, signals and release files as the Russian pages.

Official publications checked on 25 August 2026 announce SPACE DAYS KAZAKHSTAN for 7–9 September: the main programme on 7–8 September is listed at Nazarbayev University in Astana, while the 9 September Baikonur programme is described by the organizer as a separate commercial add-on. This confirms the announced event contour, not an unchanged programme, payment, access, completed sessions or forum results.

Kazakhstan’s digital-development ministry reports that engineers from Kazakhstan Gharysh Sapary completed training in China on meteorological satellite data, including FengYun and the MAZU platform, for climate, weather and emergency-warning tasks. This confirms a skills-development contour, not procurement, technology transfer, national deployment, operational integration or measured impact.
Reviewed 2026-08-25T16:49:51Z; valid at 2026-08-21.
Kazakhstan’s digital-development ministry reports that a 13 July 2026 meeting in Baikonur discussed implementation of the joint Baiterek project, execution of intergovernmental-commission decisions and further space-infrastructure cooperation. This is a dated coordination layer after the 30 April test launch, not proof of a new launch, regular operations, a commercial schedule, a contract or system readiness.
