Director General of the Egyptian Space Agency Dr Mohamed el-Qousi said that Egypt is keen on cementing its relations with African countries in the field of space activities with the view of facing the future challenges.
He made the remarks at the end of two weeks’ training program organized by the agency for trainees from Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Sudan and Uganda.
Sixteen trainees took part in the workshop, which comes as part of the agency’s effort to boost African relations.
The training featured the specializations of communications, software, design of satellite structure, and analysis of the impact of space environment on satellites, he said according to MENA.
It aimed at building capacities that enable the trainees to manufacture similar and simulating systems in their countries, he added.
