Azerbaijan and Iran have reached an agreement on the joint production of a satellite probing the Earth, said Iranian Minister of Communications and Information Muhammad Javad Azeri Jahromi.
Jahrumi noted that at present close ties are established between the two countries on cooperation in the field of satellite communications.
"Currently, Iran and Azerbaijan also cooperate in the field of postal communication, and we also intend to develop these relations. In the future, we also envisage an expansion of cooperation in the field of postal financial services," said Jahromi.
In addition, Jahromi said, prospects for cooperation on the TASİM fiber-optic cable construction project will be discussed as part of the next meeting with his Azerbaijani counterpart.
Azercosmos Open Joint-Stock Company was established in May 2010 by the presidential decree with the purpose of implementing the launch, operation, and exploitation of telecommunication satellites of Azerbaijan.
In December 2014, Azercosmos took over the rights to operate and commercialize Azersky, high resolution (1.5-meter imagery products) optical Earth observation satellite, and entered into the commercial business of Earth observation services, including geo-information services. The company also manages two satellites Azerspace-1 and Azerspace-2.
