Kazakhstan will establish a satellite observation platform for Congo, enhancing its capabilities for monitoring from space.

The website of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations, and Aerospace Industry reports the signing of an agreement for the development and implementation of a high-resolution Earth remote sensing space system for the Republic of Congo.

"The project aims to advance space technologies in the interests of national security, monitoring natural resources, agriculture, ecology, and urban planning in Congo. It involves the creation of a high-tech satellite platform capable of monitoring the Earth's surface with high precision and timeliness.
