Two African satellites launched into space in a week [Hi-Tech]

<p>We always hear about satellites being launched into space but hardly hear about African satellites.</p> <p>This is not the case anymore as South Africa’s first privately owned nanosatellite – nSight1 – was successfully launched into orbit from the International Space Station last week.</p> <p>This was followed by Ghana’s first satellite called GhanaSat1. It was developed by university students who took two years to design, assemble and test as part of a Japanese space project.</p> <p>Watch this edition of <strong><em>Hi-Tech</em></strong> on <strong><em>The Morning Call</em></strong> with <strong><em>Ismail Akwei</em></strong>.</p>
