Who is covering for the National Space Agency?

Hiding behind the presence of its own satellites, the national space and trade company Qazaqstan Gharysh Sapary is winning single-source tenders from the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Republican Center for Phytosanitation, and the akimats of several regions.

QGS boasts that it operates using data from its own satellites, but this is not true. First, just look at the image and you will understand everything; from images taken by Kazakhstani satellites, you will only get the effect of very poor eyesight.

Secondly, if our satellites were working, why would QGS have purchased images worth 1.7 billion tenge in 2023 alone?

NC "QGS" paid $611k to the American company Maxar Intelligence Inc. for images and $940k to another American company, Planet Labs, for a subscription to the Data Access satellite constellation data.

We looked at the cadastral system they created (we are figuring out how much was spent in total) - it is impossible to work with; everything is raw, it constantly crashes, there is no up-to-date data, and everything that could be is locked.

Regarding the Ministry of Emergency Situations - after the tragedy in Semey Ormany, it turned out that they are selling free NASA data to the country, hiding behind georeferencing and coordinate decoding, although this comes for free and as a package. Moreover, they are milking both the ministry itself and the regions.

Regarding the digitization of agricultural lands, it turned out that they took 1.1 billion tenge from the KUZR, but spent 550 million.

They bought from a sanctioned company (another scandal)

By the way, did they return 600 million to the KUZR? They were supposed to.

By the way, the Chinese have now received all the data on our agricultural lands for our own money.

And in general, it is rudeness and insolence - to sell free data to the country, to see people dying because of it, and still stupidly resell images at twice the price, without proper analytics, through crooked hands growing from the wrong place, but skillfully raking in the people's money.

Where is the Prosecutor General's Office looking, what has the Accounts Committee calculated, why does the AZRK not see this as a monopoly - these are questions that will be answered sooner or later. Then I will find out who is protecting National Space, but let them not be offended afterwards.
