SANSA

South African Space Agency (SANSA) is mandated by the SANSA Act, 36 of 2008, to: Promote the peaceful use of space, foster international cooperation in space-related activities and create an environment conducive to industrial development in space technology through research, human capital development, outreach programmes and infrastructure development.

Our impact is derived from merging and repackaging the existing national capacity, competence, experience, skills and expertise in space science and technology into six thematic focus areas:

• Earth Observation
• Space Operations
• Space Science
• Space Engineering
• Space Advancement and Public Engagement
• Human Capital Development
