Elon Musk's company may launch Azerbaijan's 4th satellite into orbit

Azercosmos will announce a tender for launching the next terrestrial observation satellite - AzerSky 2, Samaddin Asadov, Chairman of the Board of the Space Agency (Azercosmos) under the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, told Report.

"Today, Space X, led by Elon Musk, is the company that does it at the lowest cost in the world," he said.

"This satellite, which will be the 4th in number, will be put into orbit after three years. I am sure that Space X will give a reasonable price because it gives the lowest price worldwide. But we cannot say that we plan to launch a satellite into orbit with them since we haven't started the tender yet. Communication with them has yet to be made, and it's early. The implementation of our satellite programs will be two years later. AzerSky 2 is planned to be launched into orbit around 2025," he said.
