The launch into orbit was conducted in collaboration with the SpaceX team using a heavy-class rocket with the reusable first stage Falcon 9.
By the launch date, technical specialists from UzSAT in Uzbekistan had installed SES equipment for testing the O3b satellite. Uzbekistan became one of the first countries to receive the new equipment and access from SES for testing and operations.
The public-private company UzSAT is developing its own VSAT network in the country to enhance satellite communication and internet services. In 2024, UzSAT completed the construction of its first ground satellite communication station. The second ground station is scheduled to be completed in 2025.
Additionally, in August 2024, UzSAT, in collaboration with CRRT, successfully broadcasted 12 state-owned and 7 private Uzbek television channels along with 4 radio stations to over 15 countries, reaching an audience of 760 million people. This had a positive impact on the strengthening and preservation of the cultural heritage of the Uzbek people living in various countries across Central Asia, Afghanistan, the Middle East, and Europe.
