In April 2025, Turkmenistan will celebrate an important date in its modern history the 10th anniversary of the launch of the first national communications satellite, “TurkmenAlem 52.0E”. This event was an important step towards the development of telecommunications technologies in Turkmenistan, strengthening the country's international position in the field of communications and notification, as well as opening up new opportunities for scientific and technological progress.

On April 28, 2015, the first Turkmen communications satellite was successfully launched into space aboard a “Falcon 9” rocket from Cape Canaveral (Florida, USA state). The device was created by the French company “Thales Alenia Space” by order of Turkmenistan. This satellite has become not only a technical breakthrough, but also a symbol of a new era of modernization and international cooperation.

The “TurkmenAlem 52.0E” is a unique device with high technical characteristics. It provides satellite telephony, data transmission and other types of communications, covering vast territories of Central Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.br>
With the launch of the “TurkmenAlem 52.0E” satellite, Turkmenistan has taken an important step towards developing its telecommunications capabilities. The Satellite Communication performs the following functions:

- Provides broadcasting of more than 300 high-quality TV and radio programs in various languages of the world, including Turkmen, English, Persian, Russian, Uzbek and Turkish;

- The use of land-based infrastructure strengthens the national communications system, especially in remote areas;

- Ensures the stable operation of government agencies, ministries and departments, as well as commercial structures.

Currently, it is actively used by “TurkmenAlem 52.0E”, “Dragon Oil”, “Eni Turkmenistan” and other leading companies in the oil and gas sector. Satellite Communication plays a key role in ensuring data transmission and communication in these strategic sectors.

The Satellite Communication not only contributes to the development of domestic infrastructure, but also strengthens Turkmenistan's position as a transit country for television and radio broadcasting between Europe and Asia.

Over the past 10 years, CJSC “Turkmen Hemrasy” has established itself as a reliable and leading satellite operator in the region, providing its customers and partners with advanced technologies and high-quality satellite communications services.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Esteemed President of Turkmenistan, large scale projects are being implemented to modernize and develop the space system. Currently, the “Turkmenaragatnashyk” agency, together with CJSC “Turkmen Hemrasy”, is exploring the possibility of launching a second communications satellite. It will complement the existing infrastructure and open up new opportunities for transmitting modern information over long distances from earth.

The 10th anniversary of the “TurkmenAlem 52.0E” communications satellite testifies to Turkmenistan's confident steps towards scientific and technological development. The launch of the Satellite Communication was an important step towards strengthening the country's economic independence, improving the quality of life of the population and strengthening its international reputation.
