Armenia is planning to order a commercial communications satellite from Russia under the terms of a memorandum of understanding signed on Monday during the Farnborough air show.
"We have already signed a memorandum to create a communications satellite for Armenia," said Vladimir Popovkin, director of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, at a press conference, according to Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
The official said the satellite – to become Armenia's first – is expected to carry 15 transponders. He did not, however, disclose the value of the deal or the timeline for the satellite's construction and launch.
The satellite is to be made by Russian satellite maker Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems, Popovkin said.
