The “Zəfər” satellite, developed by Azerbaijani students, has been launched into orbit

The first “Victory of Azerbaijan” satellite built by Azerbaijani school students was successfully launched into orbit from the Vandenberg Space Force Base aboard the Falcon 9 rocket operated by SpaceX.

Developed by students of School No. 297 within the National Satellite Innovation Competition organized by SPACE Academy, this small-sized pocketqube satellite is now officially in space.

This project, realized as a joint initiative between Azercosmos’ SPACE Academy and the Brazilian company IDEIA Space, is considered a historic turning point for the country’s education and innovation ecosystem.
