At the Digital Almaty 2025 forum, AIU President Serik Irsaliev and Chairman of the Board of JSC "SP Baiterek" Aydyn Aimbetov discussed AIU's participation in the "Baiterek" space program.
AIU proposed collaboration within the project, including the possibility of launching its picosatellite during the test flight of the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle, scheduled for late 2025. The initiative was supported, allowing the university to contribute to the development of national space technologies.
Currently, AIU's R&D center is exploring the possibility of developing a picosatellite and preparing to work in this direction.
