Egypt, Kenya and Uganda have jointly sent ClimCam (Climate Camera), an AI-enabled Earth-observation instrument, to the International Space Station.
This the ✨first time in history✨ that three African countries have designed, built, and tested a single joint payload for the ISS. It’s a major milestone in Africa’s journey toward shared space capabilities.💪
ClimCam was developed by egsa_egyptianspaceagency, kenyaspaceagency & the Uganda National Space Programme under the Science, Technology and Innovation Secretariat of Uganda (stisecretariatug).
The team was selected through UNOOSA’s “Access to Space for All” initiative, in partnership with Airbus Defence and Space.
ClimCam will help tackle urgent climate challenges in Eastern Africa:
