2025 edition
Changed since 2024- has a small, nascent space program focused on research in space sciences and exploiting remote sensing (RS) technology for natural resource management, weather forecasting, agriculture, and national security issues;
- relies on foreign imagery for analysis but seeks to develop its own RS satellite capabilities;
- one of Africa’s leaders in satellite dish research;
- trains aerospace scientists and engineers;
- has established relations on space-related issues with China, Japan, and South Africa;
- cooperating with Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, Sudan, and Uganda to establish a joint satellite to monitor climate changes in the African continent;
- partner of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) international astronomy initiative (2023)
note: further details about the key activities, programs, and milestones of the country’s space program, as well as government spending estimates on the space sector, appear Appendix S
