Baku: The Azersky-2 satellite will resume its operations in 2026, said Murad Jamalov, Head of the Thematic Processing Division at the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Center of Azercosmos. Jamalov made this announcement during the 2nd International Water Management Exhibition and Conference – Baku Water Week in the capital city.
According to Trend News Agency, Jamalov emphasized that Azerbaijan is the only country in the Caucasus region to operate its own satellites. He stated that two of these satellites, Azerspace-1 and Azerspace-2, are dedicated to telecommunications. The new-generation Azersky-2 is expected to provide higher-quality and more accurate data, which will significantly support the development of remote sensing services in Azerbaijan.
In 2023, Azerbaijan lost contact with its Azersky satellite, which led to the suspension of its operations.
