Aerospace research is being carried out by the National Office of Innovation Implementation and Technology Transfer under the Ministry of Innovative Development. Currently, the Ministry of Innovative Development has an Aerospace Training and Research Laboratory. This laboratory is designed to carry out educational and research work by assembling the Cube satellite. The laboratory is also designed for the study of space radio signals, the practical use of antenna techniques for radio transmission from the solar system and distant objects. The main task assigned to the aerospace laboratory is telemetry and geodesy of the earth's surface.
As everyone knows, building a satellite and launching it into space requires years of research and study. Currently, according to this plan, young employees of the Aerospace Training and Research Laboratory have developed a small satellite device that allows transmitting space data, including indicators such as air temperature, pressure, and dust content, to the ground, and in 2021 it will be sent to the stratosphere (50 thousand meters) several times. has been removed. In particular, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Uzbekistan, on August 21, 2021, a small satellite and the flag of our country were launched into the stratosphere. As a result, research and development work is being carried out in the aerospace laboratory based on the indicators recorded by the small satellite.
Also, skilled personnel are needed to create a satellite, launch it into space, and use it later. Educational programs are being implemented in the aerospace educational and research laboratory with the involvement of talented young students. As a result of these programs, a team of 4 students took part in the international competition organized by the USA FIRST GLOBAL company. FIRST GLOBAL is an organization that contributes to the development of leadership and innovation through education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. At the end of the competition, a small satellite - Cube Sat was developed and launched into the stratosphere. Meteo Cube Sat, a small satellite (nano sputnik) developed in the aerospace research laboratory, obtained certain information from the troposphere and stratosphere layers. These are essential data for further flights and research.
In turn, a huge database was formed on the programming and technical support of Cube Sat satellites. Based on this information, it is now possible to develop new small satellites in other directions.
In addition, from November 2, 2021, the UniSat international education program for girls interested in STEM fields was launched in cooperation with UNICEF, Tech4Impact NGO and the Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan. During this program aimed at increasing girls' interest in space research, selected girls aged 15-24 from all regions of Uzbekistan will design, assemble and launch a nano-satellite into the stratosphere. Currently, until February of this year, participants are participating in online and offline seminars and practical training. The 20 best participants who have demonstrated the best performance in these seminars and trainings will be trained in the assembly of nanosatellites in Almaty. On April 12, 2022, the nanosatellite dropped by the girls will be launched into the stratosphere.
