Officials from Russia's national space agency recently paid a visit to
Yerevan to meet Armenian President Tigran Sarkisian. The topic at the
talks was the possibility of launching a first-ever commercial
satellite owned by Armenia that would operate in the area of
telecommunication, Armenia Liberty.org reported. To this effect the
parties are willing to take necessary measures to put that project
into practice. In presence of Russian ambassador in Yerevan Vyacheslav
Kovalenko, Sarkisian and two deputy directors of the Russian Central
Research Institute of Machine Building (TsNIIMash) discussed prospects
for co-operation between the two countries in the area of space.
TsNIIMash also known as Roscosmos is part of Russia's Federal Space
Agency, which specialises in designing ballistic missiles and
spaceships. During the meeting, both sides agreed that first step in
the launch of satellite in Armenia would be to start the process of
registration with the International Telecommunication Union.
