KazSat 1 the first Kazakh
space satellite
, was launched on June 18, 2006 by Proton-K rocket (made by Khrunichev Space Center). It contains 12 Ku-band
transponders (each 72 MHz). It is a communications satellite
occupying geosynchronous orbit
approximately 36 000 km above the Earth. It was produced by cooperation of Khrunichev Space Center, Alenia Spazio and others.
The control of the KazSat was lost primary at July 2008 and completely at Oct 2008.
