Read our chat with Prof. Islam Abou El-Magd, where he gave deep insight into the African Space Agency. “It will be the largest achievement for Africa in Space, which will stop any duplication and redundancy in space activities. It will properly implement the African space policy and strategy and achieve the continental goals. It will be the official space body that will take care of the coordination and implementation of the space policy. This will be great achievement to stop fragmentation of the space activities in Africa” – Prof. Islam.
