YEREVAN, DECEMBER 2, ARMENPRESS. The first Armenian indigenous satellite – Hayasat 1 – developed by Bazoomq space research lab jointly with CSIE – Center for Scientific Innovation and Education, has detached from the SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket and has entered orbit.

“Next the satellite will deploy its antennas and we will establish contact with it. At this moment the satellite is charging its batteries through solar panels,” Bazoomq Co-founder, board member & CTO Hayk Martirosyan told Armenpress.

The satellite will then start to send status updates.

The ground station can already receive data from the satellite.

The SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket carrying Hayasat-1 took off into orbit on December 1.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
