The first ever satellite made by Kenya is now complete and will be launched from the International Space Station.

The satellite was developed by engineers from the University of Nairobi.

It's development cost Sh120 million.

UoN's engineer Dr Jackson Mwangi, was involved in the satellite development.

I know people will argue whether it makes sense for kenya to take to space while people are starving in the slums and villages, but they should know that kenya and it's scientists are as inquisitive as those at MIT.

The objectives are very clear....

The UoN team said it would use its satellite to test technologies it has developed for the future launch of a larger earth observation satellite.

The team also hopes to apply data acquired from the satellite to monitor agriculture and coastal areas.

We are unable to monitor crimes in CBD with all these CCTV camera's my fren which have CLEAR images backed with CLEAR LAWS. How then would we use data that needs to be interpreted first before use?
