Kenya is all set to launch it’s first locally made Ksh100 million (about $1m) satellite. It will be launched from Japan
The special satellite has been developed by researchers and students of University of Nairobi (UoN) with the help of Sapienza University (Italy) and experts from Japan.
This satellite would be country’s first authentic and official entry into space science.
“The UoN Satellite will be used in collecting data on climate change, wildlife mapping, earth mapping, weather forecast, coastline monitoring, transport and logistics,” said UoN vice- chancellor Peter Mbithi.
