African Countries That Have Launched Their Own Satellite
Hello Displorers, Welcome back to another informative video presented to you by Displore and thanks for watching, in this video, We shall be presenting to you all the African countries that have successfully launched their own satellite in Space.
Satellite is an artificial body placed in orbit round the earth or moon or another planet in order to collect information or for communication. More than 1,950 active satellites are currently orbiting Earth, and plenty more could soon be joining them. In the modern world, Technology has become a key factor in development therefore with a statellite in space, a country is known to have made great strides in
space has become an attractive frontier for African countries that have launched satellites based on scientific, technological or military ambitions. The Soviet Union was the first country in the world to launch the world’s first artificial satellite into orbit and it’s a step many African countries are emulating. 41 African satellites have now been launched in Africa and 38 of them are from individual countries while three were multilateral efforts. Unfortunately none of those launches has taken place from African soil. While local engineers and scientists are often involved in the development of the satellites, cooperation with other countries such as China, Russia and Japan has historically been necessary to successfully launch satellites into space.

Innovations around satellite technologies have increasingly made it viable for low-income nations to manufacture small satellites and use them to achieve their own development goals. Across Africa, the opportunities surrounding outer space exploration has never been greater, with nations looking at space programs as a vital step to kick start and empower innovation. The enthusiasm around space technology also comes from the recognition that information gleaned from satellites has the potential to improve agriculture, guard against deforestation, improve disaster planning, and provide internet to rural communities. The current investments can also offset the long-term costs of purchasing and maintaining satellites from foreign governments. As such, several African nations have manufactured, launched, and operated their own programs to power their own scientific, technological and military ambitions. Amongst them, here are the African countries with a presence in space.
1. South Africa
The South African National Space Agency (SANSA) is South Africa's government agency responsible for the promotion and development of aeronautics and aerospace space research. It fosters cooperation in space-related activities and research in space science, seeks to advance scientific engineering through human capital, as well as the peaceful use of outer space, and supports the creation of an environment conducive to the industrial development of space technologies within the framework of national government. In 1999, South Africa launched its first satellite, SUNSAT from Vandenberg Air Force Base in the US. A second satellite, SumbandilaSat, was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in 2009. In December 2018, South Africa launched the continent’s most advanced Nano-satellite into space to monitor and manage disasters such as fires and assist the ocean economy. The ZACube-2 a 10kg Nano-satellite provides state-of-the-art remote sensing and communication services to South Africa and the southern African region, according to Techcentral. The satellite was launched in Russia this week, as part of the Russian Soyuz Kanopus mission and is the most advanced satellite in Africa. That is the second government-owned nanosatellite South Africa has launched into space. The first was the TshepisoSat, which was launched in 2013, according to the SAASTA.
2. Nigeria
Along with South Africa, Nigeria’s space program is more advanced than its African peers. Nigeria has launched four satellites into space, with three still operational and one de-orbited after completing its objectives. Nigeria launched its first earth observation satellite, NigeriaSat-1, in September 2003 by Kosmos-3M rocket from Russian Plesetsk spaceport which cost the country $30million. That was followed by the launch of Africa’s first communications satellite, NigComSat-1, built and launched in China in 2007. Earth observation satellites NigeriaSat-2 and NigeriaSat-X were then sent into orbit by the Ukrainian Dnepr rocket from Yasny military base in Russia on August, 17, 2011.
