Africa's First Step to the Space Race Starts in 2017

A new satellite, which will be set out to collect pertinent information regarding natural disasters all over Africa, will be launched within next year. It gains its popularity not only because it is the continent's first private space satellite, but it has also been conceptualized by a group of high school girls. Experts believe that now, more than ever, is the best time for Africa to finally join the space race.
