  • Sumbandila provided lessons for next SA satellite

    December 12, 2012 Editor 0

    The South African National Space Agency (Sansa) has learnt valuable lessons from the Sumbandila micro satellite programme. Sumbandila failed last year after operating in space for less than two years, a shorter time than hoped for.

    “Sumbandila was an experiment in using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components. In many respects it was a success,” Sansa space programme manager Francois Denner told Engineering News Online on Thursday. “We now have a space heritage in COTS components instead to having to use very expensive space-certified components.”
