The country’s investment in space research and training is bearing fruit, after the government announced that it is set to launch its second satellite into space in July.
The satellite was built by Rwandan space engineers in a Japanese lab, and cost up to $200,000. The satellite will fly into space in July to take supplies.
Once launched into space it will also provide data for Internet of Things (IoT) to be used in a number of fields. It is also expected to provide the much-needed data in safeguarding the country’s environment and other sectors.
