Hello im Christine Wendell welcome to deeds every news africa its there to have you along if yo pias 1st ever satellite has been launched into space the launch makes ethiopia the 11th african country to have a satellite in space egypt was 1st in 1908 now Prime Minister ahmed is credited with starting the Satellite Program 3 years ago while he was minister for technology. This rocket may have lifted off from shannon she northern china with its reverberations were felt half way around the world for some countries space travel is about thrusting their power for smaller nations just hitching a ride is a sign of progress. And to cause for celebration in ethiopia where they were up early to watch the countries for satellite sail into space. A year college or. Satellite r. S. S. One which is currently launching from china. Will be a foundation for our historic journey to prosperity. It is a landmark achievement for the country Space Program even if china paid most of the price tag the satellite will gather vast amounts of data to use for weather forecasting and crop monitoring officials hope it will save millions of dollars a year for others you cant put a price on the price see look. Heard around 20 ethiopians have participated in the launching of the satellite 15 men and 5 women. In the near future but i believe ethiopians will do better in the Space Program thats my hope. And all african countries have launched more than 40 satellite the one final frontier remains launching a rocket from african soil.

Ok so just give us a sense of how significant this is for ethiopia. Well for a start that for a very long time the space used to be imagined i would say like a privilege where only in developed countries could use but show the time these show that. Still space could benefit developing countries such as ethiopia and its one of the way that we show this Space Technology cation use a Space Shuttle program ok so it is one of the ways that we and we get to understand how with can try to shed the benefits our development. Ok so what is the satellite actually going to do and hows it going to benefit ethiopia. So 4 stars to give a very Good Platform for our engineer to really experience and learn about sex and i Technology Development and the 2nd is since includes. Satellite this satellite is expected to measure environment and the whizzer that could hold for a better and cards for planning. Ok give us a sense off how it works i mean youre obviously going to be manning the team in ethiopia just give us a sense of what the operations would be like the people who work on this project what will they be doing. So basically like we have this ground gone d station or super dogs about where it was a center and this engineers and the scientists there will receive the data and and give it give the data to the possible stakeholders that could use that could benefit out of this data such as and culture of the weather d minister as such ok so we know that china paid most of the bill for this project how will it be benefiting from it. So this is a really good news for developing countries like india theyre so good. And to work on such let our jobs at the point we have to start and then somehow it is ours. Right ok so i guess last leave this is the 8 satellite to be launched by an african country this year if you can very quickly what does this mean for africas space sector well its obviously a change that. 8 is a small number where yet to have a lot off to our compilation there years but its the progress of this. So there is a question use it for its africa thats one kept allies and develop Technology Ok that is a test by and it is evident thank you.
