SA space agency responds to growing demand for in-orbit satellite testing
November 16, 2013 Editor 0
The ever-increasing need for information generated from space requires several satellites to orbit the earth, which subsequently require more antennas worldwide to track and monitor their orbits and functions. This provides an opportunity for South Africa to invest in and develop space programmes and projects. The most recent project is the South African National Space Agency’s (Sansa’s) new Ku-band In Orbit Test (IOT) limited-motion antenna, inaugurated last month, which is an addition to Sansa’s increasing number of technologically advanced antennas at its Space Operations facility, in Hartebeesthoek, near Brits.
