Egypt has decided to invest $10 million to construct the first African Space Agency in New Cairo. The National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences (NARSS) will temporarily host the headquarters of the agency until the construction of its permanent site is completed.
Egypt and other African countries will finally be able to actively take part of space science research and projects. Hence, increasing participation in a field, we lacked access to.
Due to Egypt recently becoming the chair of the African Union, and the African Space Agency being part of the “Africa 2063” agenda. This launch will guarantee a transformation in Africa within the next 50 years.
