Kazakhstan and China to Build Ground Satellite Station in Almaty
“The station will be located on the campus of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University and developed in partnership with China’s Hainan Satellite Data and Application Research Center and Northwestern Polytechnical University. According to Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the station will operate in the X-band frequency, enabling it to receive and transmit data from both Kazakh satellites and foreign spacecraft.”
“The project was formalized during a recent visit by a delegation from China’s Hainan Province, where officials signed a protocol confirming the station’s placement at the Kazakh branch of Northwestern Polytechnical University.”
“The satellite ground station is expected to play a key role in the collection, sharing, and practical application of satellite data across Kazakhstan and neighboring regions of China. It also reflects a broader expansion of Kazakh-Chinese collaboration in advanced technology sectors, including aerospace, digital infrastructure, and academic research.”
