The space idea is unifying
In 2021, the CSIE (Center for Scientific Innovation and Education) was established. CSIE aims to establish an Automation Center of Excellence in Armenia, as well as, using the international network of scientists, to build a World Center for Armenian Robotics. The foundation has now set itself the task of teaching scientists and students how to formulate advanced research problems and have a competitive mindset. During 2021, CSIE and "Bazoomq" had discussions and came to the idea that they should jointly undertake the mission of creating a satellite in Armenia with their own forces.
