On April 15, 2024, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko signed Decree No. 150 "On the Belarusian space system for remote sensing of the Earth."

The document provides for the implementation in 2024–2028 of a joint Belarusian-Russian project to develop the Belarusian space system for remote sensing of the Earth. The decree defines the project participants from the Republic of Belarus and the conditions for their activities.

After completion of the project, it is planned to launch a Belarusian-Russian ultra-high-resolution Earth remote sensing spacecraft with an active life in orbit of at least 7 years.

The use of a spacecraft will significantly increase the efficiency of solving problems to ensure national security, the efficiency and quality of space information provided to consumers, and will become a driver for the development of high-tech industries and technologies in the space industry and attracting talented youth to it.

The implementation of the Decree will help consolidate the positive image of Belarus as a space power and a high-tech state, promote domestic knowledge and competencies in the field of peaceful exploration of outer space.
