Bishkek:Kyrgyzstan is set to develop its own space industry, as the Presidential Affairs Department has submitted a draft resolution to the Cabinet of Ministers for the State Program for the Development of the Space Industry for 2027-2031. This proposal is currently open for public discussion.

According to 24.kg News Agency, the primary objective of the program is to establish a national space industry and incorporate satellite technologies into public administration, the economy, and the national security system.

The program aims to build national infrastructure for Earth observation, enhance satellite communications, advance geoinformation technologies, and conduct scientific research. It also includes plans for satellite data exchange between government agencies and providing local government bodies, research institutions, and businesses with access to digital services.

The use of satellite technologies is expected to support government needs, economic development, and improve territorial management efficiency. The program also emphasizes international cooperation, technological infrastructure development, and creating conditions for the commercial use of space technologies.

The Presidential Affairs Department, under a presidential decree dated April 29, 2026, is tasked with developing and implementing state policy in satellite technologies. However, the program does not include plans for Kyrgyzstan to launch rockets independently or build a spaceport, focusing instead on satellite data and digital technologies. The draft does not specify the program's total cost, funding sources, or exact implementation deadlines for the projects.
