Dr Aboubakar MAMBIMBA NDJOUNGUI; Deputy General Manager of Agence Gabonaise d’Etudes et d’Observations Spatiales (AGEOS)
In line with Space in Africa’s 2020 in Review series, we had a chat with Dr Aboubakar Mambimba Ndjoungui, Deputy General Manager of Agence Gabonaise d’Etudes et d’Observations Spatiales/Gabonese Studies and Space Observations Agency (AGEOS) on what the Agency has been up to in 2020 and what to look forward to in 2021.
What are the milestones achieved by AGEOS in 2020?
In 2020, AGEOS successfully installed its new 3 meters antenna which will be used mainly for the weather data acquisition, as part of the SAWIDRA (RARS) project. Also, the positioning of AGEOS in the Central African region is helping to monitor projects around cross-border areas, constituting an important stage in its establishment as a development tool for all the countries in the region.
