Sansa, Roscosmos consider radio telescope cooperation deal
July 3, 2013 Editor 0
The South African National Space Agency (Sansa) and its Russian counterpart, Roscosmos, are continuing talks on possible future cooperation across a wide spectrum of space activities. In particular, a comprehensive cooperation agreement, that will include Sansa joining the Radioastron space radio telescope programme, is being drawn up. Other negotiations are in their preliminary stages. One area for possible future cooperation is the development of space platforms, especially satellites. Related to this, but what is recognised to be a development – should it ever happen – for the long-term, would be cooperation in developing a South African satellite launch capability.
