Ethiopia has recently opened a new 12-meter satellite ground station, which is a big step forward for the country's space program. This station was built with help from Ethiopian engineers and a Chinese company, showcasing international cooperation in space technology.
The new ground station is located at the Entoto Observatory and Research Center in Addis Ababa. It is larger and more advanced than a previous 7.3-meter station that was set up in 2021. The new station can receive high-quality satellite data, track multiple satellites at once, and has improved systems for processing data. This will help Ethiopia monitor the environment better and manage disasters more effectively.
The Ethiopian Space Science Geospatial Institute (SSGI) is the main organization behind this project, and it aims to enhance Ethiopia's capabilities in space science and technology. The ground station will also help generate income by offering services to other countries and organizations.
Overall, this development is part of Ethiopia's goal to become a leader in space technology in the region, and it supports future space projects and international partnerships.
