According to the source, after successfully accomplishing its
priority tasks, the agency will focus on developing a market for

and we have now fully launched state space monitoring in
Uzbekistan. As part of this initiative, we conduct remote
measurements of deformations in the Earth's surface over extensive
territories. We gather data from satellites operated by foreign
Earth observation satellite operators. The monitoring is
successfully integrated into the digitization processes of various
sectors. For instance, we have made significant progress in working
with data related to water reserves, forest resources, and close
collaboration with the agricultural sector. Furthermore, the
monitoring is focused on identifying blind spots, such as illegal
construction and violations of waste disposal regulations, as well
as facilitating the rational regulation of natural resources. In
just the past year, we have submitted reports to the relevant
oversight and law enforcement authorities that have the potential
to bring both direct and indirect economic benefits," the source
