Space Log 🌌

My dreams, goals, and the mission to make Kazakhstan a spacefaring nation — starting from one student, one step at a time.

🚀

Baikonur Cosmodrome — 2050 Deadline

Kazakhstan's lease of Baikonur to Russia expires in 2050. This is not just a date — it is a challenge. By then, Kazakhstan must have its own scientists, engineers, and space program ready to take ownership of the world's oldest and most legendary launch site.

My Roadmap

The Mission Plan

From a student in Almaty to a scientist helping build Kazakhstan's space future.

🎓
2024–2028 — KAZNU UNIVERSITY
KazNU · Space Technology & Technology
Entered Al-Farabi Kazakh National University in 2024, majoring in Space Technology & Technology. My university years are 2024–2028. During this period, I am building the foundation in physics, mathematics, mechanics, aerospace basics, programming, web development, and hands-on projects like CanSat.

🏫
2028–2030 — NEXT STEP
Master's Degree or Research Path
After finishing KazNU, continue with a master's degree, research work, or advanced training in aerospace engineering. Focus on orbital mechanics, propulsion systems, satellite technology, and real engineering experience.

2030–2040 — CAREER
Becoming a Real Space Engineer
Work at a space agency or research institute. Contribute to real satellite missions, launch systems, or planetary science. Gain experience internationally, then bring it back to Kazakhstan. Mentor the next generation of Kazakh space engineers.

🌍
2040–2050 — THE MISSION
Kazakhstan's Independent Space Era
As the Baikonur lease ends in 2050, Kazakhstan must be ready. The goal: help build an independent Kazakh space program with native scientists and engineers. Baikonur was where Sputnik launched, where Gagarin flew — it belongs to Kazakhstan's future, not just its history.

2050+ — THE DREAM
Kazakhstan as a Space Nation
A Kazakhstan that launches its own rockets, trains its own cosmonauts, and contributes to humanity's reach beyond Earth. Not a dream — a plan. It starts here, with one student who decided to care.

Why Baikonur Matters

The most historic launch site on Earth — located in Kazakhstan.

🛸

First in Space

Sputnik-1, the world's first satellite, launched from Baikonur on October 4, 1957. It was the beginning of the Space Age — and it happened on Kazakh soil.

👨‍🚀

Gagarin's Launchpad

Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space from Baikonur on April 12, 1961. Every crewed Russian mission still launches from here today.

📋

The Lease

Russia leases Baikonur from Kazakhstan for ~$115 million per year. The current agreement runs until 2050. After that — Kazakhstan decides its own future.

🇰🇿

Kazakhstan's Opportunity

2050 is not an ending — it's a beginning. With the right scientists and political will, Kazakhstan can operate Baikonur independently and become a true space power.

"

The stars above Kazakhstan have always been there. Now it's time for Kazakhstan to reach them.

Notes from the journey.

2025 · Entry 001
CanSat Mission Complete
Successfully built and participated in a CanSat mission — a small satellite simulation measuring atmospheric data during descent. First real engineering project. Realized that this is exactly what I want to do with my life.
💻
2025 · Entry 002
Built This Portfolio
Created kainar.space using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Firebase. Multi-language support in Kazakh, English, and Chinese. Learned that building things — even websites — feels the same as engineering: you start with nothing and end with something real.

The Baikonur Realization
Learned that the Baikonur Cosmodrome lease expires in 2050. That's 25 years. I'll be in my 40s — exactly the age when scientists do their most important work. This is not a coincidence. This is a mission.
