Kazakh and Russian scientists made "Radio Waves Earthquake Prognosis and Its Installation" joint invention be patented. It will allow to predict the quake in 25 days. President of Central Asian Informatiology Academy, Academician Secretary Moscow Aviation Institute Gennadiy Korenchuk communicated this to Kazinform. According to G. Korenchuk the Russian scientists set down to its elaboration in 1990-es with the support of American colleagues. Use of ?Alpha? Russian and "Omega" American radio navigation and "COSPAS-SARSAT" international space systems were proposed in the project. But the cessation of "Omega" activities in 1997 resulted in joint works suspended. Later Kazakh scientists joined the project. The topic is included in 2001-2005 Kazakh-Russian information development cooperation program in scientific and technical spheres. The methods and their high efficiency were proved by researches on the basis of Afghanistan and Turkey new earthquakes.
A Kazakhstan-Iranian satellite aimed chiefly at predicting earthquakes may soon be launched into the orbit. The institute of space research of Kazakhstan has made public this initiative. It already has been proven and confirmed that in seismically active regions seismic processes influencing the upper layers of the Earth atmosphere start a few hours before an intense earthquake occurs. A satellite traveling in a low altitude orbit might very well plot these processes. Scientific research work in this direction had been carried out in Kazakhstan during the days of the USSR. At that time, two international establishments took part in the program “Interspace” – a unique mathematical program that processed the data from such satellites and was saved. The interest of Iranian scientists in forecasting earthquakes dramatically increased one and half years ago, after the tragedy in Bam city. In December 2003 over 40 thousand Iranians were killed there during a major earthquake. A rather developed earthquake-monitoring network does function in the country, but there are no such space technologies in Iran.
Bagdat Suimenbayev, deputy-director, space researches scientific institute:
“The launching will surely be carried out from Baikonur cosmodrome, and of course, by a conversion rocket, because it is the cheapest. We plan to make a platform together with Russia, yet all the payload, all mathematical summaries and further processing and experimentation we will do ourselves. We are free to do so in these regards.”
It is noteworthy that interest in the problem is growing each year. Kazakhstani specialists together with the French space agency CNES have prepared the technical and economic aspects of the project. Such a satellite will cost 1.5-2 million US dollars.

In the context of Scientific Space System creation project for earthquake precursor’s researches was developed software for the complex analysis of the satellite and ground waveform data. The system consists of two programs TRASSA-OMIR and SOS-OMIR. For the chosen seismic region and time interval the TRASSA-OMIR program allows to predict satellite orbital position (altitude, subsatellite point latitude and longitudes), and also other parameters for these point - L-shell, satellite light exposure, distance from the satellite to earthquake epicenter, geomagnetic field parameters, etc. As initial conditions for satellite orbit prediction we used classical elements and elements of TLE format (NORAD). The SOS-OMIR program is intended for complex waveform data (satellite and ground) processing and analysis in the chosen seismic regions with use of the modern techniques based on methods of the spectral analysis, filtration, statistical and correlation-regression analysis, etc. The special feature of the given system is orientation to processing of ground and satellite data for detecting of anomalies related to seismic events.
Projects to develop spacecraft and instruments for studying earthquake precursors are of immediate interest to the CIS countries. This work began in the Soviet period, and some significant developments were achieved by scientists from Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Russia is represented in these projects by the IZMIRAN and Tekhnologiya Geoscan. Recently, scientists from France who possess a satellite suitable for studying earthquake precursors joined this research.
Presently the French satellite is the only shared instrument available for the study of earthquake precursors. In future it will be replaced by Russian, Ukrainian and Kazakh satellites, which will be built under the respective national programmes.
Under the programme of Russian-Ukrainian cooperation in space exploration and use (2007-2011), a system of short-term earthquake forecasts and emergency monitoring system will be developed.
The Programme for Accelerated Industrial and Innovation Development of Kazakhstan until 2014 includes plans to conduct research and R&D work with a view to building a space system capable, inter alia, of studying earthquake precursors based on ionosphere parameters. This system is being developed by the National Centre of Space Engineering and Technology in partnership with the RAS Institute of Earth Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radiowaves Propagation (IZMIRAN) and Geoscan Tekhnologiya of Russia, the Yuzhnoye State Design Bureau of Ukraine and the Space Agency of France.
Multi-level system of monitoring and forecasting of space weather is being created in Kazakhstan. Near space is being monitored by measuring key
parameters of the ionosphere, upper atmosphere and solar activity
to address a wide range of tasks of controlling and forecasting
geophysical situation ("Space Weather"), as well as research
and the search for earthquake precursors.

While the White House and Congress are engaged in a tug-of-war over whether NASA should cooperate with China in space, two nations that inherited parts of the Soviet Union’s space program - Kazakhstan and Ukraine - have moved forward on engaging with the emerging superpower. They join other space powers - including Russia, Canada and Europe - that are already cooperating with China.
Kazcosmos Chairman Talgat Musabayev recently led a delegation to Beijing to meet with officials of the China National Space Administration. Kazcosmos PAO reports:
On the first day of the visit the delegation met with the China Industrial Corporation (CPC) "Great Wall", and discussed issues of cooperation. Members of the Kazakh delegation, composed of heads and specialists of Kazkosmos, met with the leadership of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (KTARN) and visited the booster assembly plant.
During the talks the head of Kazcosmos Talgat Musabayev and head of the China National Space Administration (KNKA) Tsyufa Chen noted the need to prepare an intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes.
"This framework agreement will form the basis of bilateral and mutually beneficial cooperation between Kazakhstan and China in space," said T. Musabayev.
According to the head Kazkosmos, China's space industry, which has reached today a large scale and considerable scientific and technological level, is of great interest for Kazakhstan in the light of its own space industry.
Last month, a Chinese delegation visited Kiev to review progress in implementing the 2011-15 space cooperation agreement that was signed last September. According to the State Space Agency of Ukraine:
The program included over 50 joint projects divided into 2 parts: primary and perspective projects. In particular, it was foreseen to develop joint space system for Earth observation, implementation of ionosphere satellite project for creation of the earthquake forecasting system, development and supply for Chinese partners of diverse rocketry equipment and instrumentation.
