A new Emirati missile system may be launched from Baikonur in the next few years.
Its feature is that it will be possible to travel to the same celestial body twice and return with cargo. Currently, relevant negotiations are underway with the Kazakh side. This was announced at the exhibition dedicated to the space industry in the United Arab Emirates.
Projects that combine space technology and artificial intelligence have entered a new phase. Global companies are investing heavily in this endeavor. According to experts, spaceships have become more mobile. A unique engine has been developed, and a rocket system has been invented that can carry cargo in the opposite direction.
Stan Rudenko, head of the spacecraft project: – I can say that the project we have developed has no analogues. It is designed for multiple use of the rocket. It can fly into space and return to Earth. Our company is located in the Emirates. We are considering taking advantage of the market opportunities, discussing the project with potential partners and testing it. When the time comes, we have a plan to launch from Baikonur.
Kazakhstan has become a part of this large-scale process. Because Baikonur is known to the world as an important testing ground. A few years ago, the United Arab Emirates launched its first astronaut from our launch pad. Now, the satellite-building institutions of this country intend to continue their cooperation.
Rauan Mynbay, correspondent: – The United Arab Emirates has joined the ranks of countries that have soared into the sky and firmly entered space. Now, many private satellites for remote monitoring of the Earth are being built here. One of them is even ready for launch. It should be launched into orbit by the end of the year.
The peculiarity is that the new devices can process information independently using artificial intelligence. Thus, they provide an immediate signal. In the future, the Emirates will use advanced technology to remotely monitor defense facilities and ship movements at sea.
Hamdullah Mohib, Head of Satellite Manufacturing Company: – We are taking our potential in artificial intelligence and space to a new level. We are even developing and delivering satellite systems to Europe. Our device processes data in orbit, quickly identifies important events, and delivers them promptly. It is useful for civil defense and security. In today’s changing world, a system of this level is very important.
In general, the emirate has been paying special attention to the development of space in recent years. We are eager to conquer Mars and reach the Moon. Since 2019, two astronauts have flown into space. Two more are in line.
