The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has allocated R232-million in funding for the development of the new ZA-ARMC1 satellite this year, Science and Technology Minister Derek Hanekom has indicated.
“This satellite will greatly enhance Africa’s ability to monitor and manage its precious natural resources. The process of transferring the capabilities and intellectual property of SunSpace [South Africa’s specialist microsatellite and related systems manufacturing company] into an ongoing satellite programme is continuing, through the services of a business rescue plan,” he said in his 2013/14 Budget Vote on Thursday.
