Carrying Botswana’s dreams and hopes, BOTSAT-1 has successfully launched from SpaceX’s facility in California, USA, and is now on its way to space!

This historic mission aims to provide real-time data that will support Botswana’s future in environmental monitoring, agriculture, disaster response, urban planning, and more. While Botswana’s economy has long been driven by its diamond industry, the country is now stepping into a new era.

The success of this groundbreaking project was made possible by the brilliant engineers at Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST). With space technology opening new frontiers, Botswana’s economic potential is reaching new heights.
