The Kenya Space Agency (KSA) has announced the commencement of the 2-Week residential Cubesat Training Course jointly organized with the Italian Space Agency (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana) at the Luigi Broglio Malindi Space Centre in Ngomeni, Kilifi County.

The training, which commenced today (28 October) and continues to 8 November 2024, is focusing on developing practical skills in Cubesat design and development. The training is facilitated by industry experts from the Italian Space Agency and professors from Sapienza University of Rome (Sapienza Università di Roma)

This Cubesat training is a follow up to the on-line “Understanding Space” training conducted on 22 July 22 to 16 August 2024, organized by KSA and Teaching Science & Technology, Inc. (TSTI). The online training was intended to provide the participants with foundational understanding of theoretical knowledge on nanosatellite development.

Following the online training, the five Kenyan University teams comprising 20 participants with the best mission ideas (SimbaSat, AgMonSat, FloodSat, KilimoSat and CombatSat), were selected to participate in the current training. The team has been joined by the Tafiti team (comprising University student representatives) and KSA technical staff, bringing the total number to 30 participants.

This Cubesat Training Course is aimed to benefit the participants by equipping them with essential skills and experience in satellite development. The course is intended to bridge the technology gap and help Kenya develop its indigenous technical capabilities to drive future advancements in space science and technology. KSA and ASI were represented by Mr. Charles Mwangi and Dr. munzer jahjah respectively.
