Botswana just sent its first satellite, BOTSAT-1, into space—because why should the usual space giants have all the fun?
Beyond the cool factor, this means better data for precision agriculture—helping farmers monitor crops and optimise yields—along with improved climate monitoring and expanded internet access in remote areas. The latter is the key driver behind Botswana’s partnership with SpaceX, as African countries seem to find a way into the space technology chat, even if it means teaming up with bigger players to get there.
+1 for Africa!
