Madiyev emphasized that a cosmonaut's flight requires substantial investments, and negotiations are currently underway with international partners to ensure an acceptable launch cost.
He noted that there are potential candidates in the country who are capable of undergoing the necessary training, but none of them are being specifically prepared at this time. Kazakhstan's space industry is developing within the framework of the sixth scientific program, which includes the training of specialists.
According to the minister, there is a record of students studying in fields related to space technologies, and this statistics is planned to be presented.
