Nigerian-built Satellite Acquires First Image Just Days After Launch
“NigeriaSat-X was built by engineers from Nigeria’s National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) under the supervision of Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL). The new generation of Nigerian scientists and engineers trained up under the NigeriaSat-X project will continue to support Nigeria’s space programme, ensuring its continued success and sustainability. In total, 26 Nigerian engineers were located at SSTL’s facilities in Guildford for 18 months throughout the design and test phases.”
