## Why It Matters
KazEOSat 2 is part of the global fleet of Earth observation satellites that collect remote sensing data from orbit. As a purpose-built Earth observation platform, it contributes to tasks that rely on satellite imagery and remote sensing, such as environmental monitoring, land-use observation, and other applications that require overhead data (the specific operational uses are determined by operators and users). Its manufacture by Astrium connects the satellite to established European space industry capability. The launch aboard a Dnepr vehicle illustrates the use of converted ballistic missile rockets for commercial and civil satellite deployment. As an identifiable, cataloged satellite (COSPAR 2014-033A, SCN 40010), KazEOSat 2 is a traceable asset in space situational awareness systems and international satellite registries. Its existence strengthens the redundancy and coverage of Earth observation resources available to stakeholders that access its data.
