Côte d'Ivoire wants to launch the first Ivorian nanosatellite by 2024 and create an Ivorian space agency. The announcement was made by the Minister of Education and Scientific Research at the NewSpace Africa conference, held at the Ivoire Hotel in Abidjan from April 25 to 28.
The entrepreneur estimates that we can start building and launching nanosatellites with 50 million CFA francs, or nearly 80,000 euros. The turnover of the space sector is estimated at 10 billion by 2024 according to Sékou Ouedraogo.
