This project and the procedures for its implementation were discussed at a meeting between officials of the Ministry of Digital Technologies of the Republic of Uzbekistan and professors of the Kyushu Institute of Technology of Japan.
Today, Uzbekistan, like all developing countries, is effectively cooperating with the largest and leading countries of the world space market, reputable agencies and top universities in conducting space research, introducing modern technologies, and training qualified personnel for the industry.
In particular, the Uzbekcosmos Agency is implementing joint educational projects and programs with the USA, Great Britain, France, South Korea, China, Japan, Turkey, and Azerbaijan in order to further develop space education in the country and increase the knowledge and experience of young people in such areas as technical engineering, astronautics and astronomy.
The agreement signed with one of the leading universities in Japan, Kyushu Institute of Technology, will provide 7 young design engineers with the opportunity to train for 2 years at the master's level in the field of design, assembly and testing of spacecraft. During this time, they, together with experienced Japanese professors, are planned to create and launch Uzbekistan's first scientific and technological satellite "6U Cubsat" into orbit.
It should be noted that the legal basis for the implementation of this project is the Decree of the Head of our State "On measures for the introduction of aerospace technologies in economic sectors in 2024-2026".
For information:
The Kyushu Institute of Technology began its activities in 1907 and is among the top 1000 universities in the world according to the QS ranking. To date, more than 70,000 engineers have graduated from here, which is a highly qualified group of students. Today, the institute cooperates with many countries in the field of space education and trains a team of engineers and designers, helping to create satellites.
In October 2024, Kyushu Institute of Technology began a promising partnership with the Technical University of Moldova within the framework of the J-CUBE program, developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and supported by the UNISEC consortium. This global initiative is aimed at developing nanosatellites and brings together universities from around the world for joint research and development in the field of space technology.
