ETRSS-1 Ethiopia’s First Satellite and Its Impact 🚀🇪🇹
Launched on December 20, 2019, ETRSS-1 (Ethiopian Remote Sensing Satellite) marked Ethiopia’s entry into space technology. Developed with China’s support and operated by the Ethiopian Space Science and Technology Institute, this 65 kg satellite orbits 628.61 km above Earth, capturing new images every four days.
ETRSS-1 provides important data for agriculture, forestry, and environmental management, helping monitor climate change, track weather, and manage resources better. Although we are still learning how to use this technology effectively, we are making progress and working towards using it to help our country grow.
🎉 A big thank you! to the Ethiopian Space Science and Technology Institute for making this achievement possible, providing us with valuable tools to protect our resources and improve productivity.
