A Russian-operated space surveillance system located in
Tajikistan, Okno-M, has reached its full capacity, making it four times more powerful, the Russian Ministry of Defense reports in July 2015. The surveillance station successfully underwent state tests late in 2014.

and the centre started test operations in 1999 and combat duty in 2004. Ownership of the complex was transferred from
Tajikistan to Russia in 2004 in return for the writing off of $ 242 million
