South Africa gets its own NASA

The Minister of Science and Technology, Naledi Pandor, on Thursday 9 December officially launched the South African National Space Agency at a gala event in Mid Rand.

She said that SANSA is mandated as the primary, but not sole, implementer of South Africa's National Space Programme to direct Government's investment in space sciences and technology.

The purpose is to integrate and manage the country's space activities for the greater good and implement an effective, sustainable, long term, national space programme aligned with South Africa's socio-economic policies.

On a question by the South African Radio League (SARL) at the media briefing if SANSA will support the amateur radio satellite programme, the CEO of SANSA said definitely. The Radio Amateurs are part of our plans.
