Ethiopia is preparing to launch its third earth observation satellite by 2026, according to the Ethiopian Space Science and Geospatial Institute. The upcoming satellite is expected to have improved image quality compared to the country's previous two satellites, which are no longer operational.
Mr. Tesfaye Fufa, Chief Executive Officer of Satellite Surveillance at the Institute, stated that Ethiopia is working in collaboration with China on the project. However, details on the financial investment made in China for the satellite's development have not been disclosed.
Ethiopia launched its first earth observation satellite in December 2019. These satellites play a crucial role in predicting natural disasters, monitoring floods, and analyzing climate change.
