The South African National Space Agency (SANSA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Brazilian Space Agency (Agência Espacial Brasileira AEB).

The MoU was announced by the CEO of SANSA, Dr Valanathan Munsami, on his Twitter page.

The announcement read: “SANSA and AEB sign an MoU to kick start our joint collaboration across the Atlantic. This is important as it provides significant opportunities for industry to industry collaboration apart from the inter-Agency collaboration.”

This is one in a series of high-level partnership agreements signed across the African space industry in recent times, with Egypt and Kenya leading the pack.
