Armenia building its own spacecraft

PanARMENIAN – The Federation Council of Russia has ratified an agreement between the governments of Russia and Armenia on cooperation in the field of research and use of outer space for peaceful purposes, Pnp.ru reports.

This agreement plays an important role for Armenia since the country has already begun developing a spacecraft.

The Armenian artificial satellite must be installed in the orbital position 71.4E of geostationary communications.

Armenia will thus come to possess its own communication satellite in space which will help further build the country’s security and develop communication technologies.
