| Abstract: |
Science and Technology Minister Mosibudi Mangena has urged South Africa's private sector to invest in space-related technologies, as the country was drawing near to establishing its first space agency to coordinate and implement the national space science and technology programme.
"South Africa is on the verge of establishing a space agency, which means that in the space science and technology [field] we can only see growth going forward in our country. Therefore, the market that the private sector will be manufacturing, researching, etcetera, in would only grow," he said.
Last year, Cabinet approved the establishment of the South African Space Agency (Sasa) to conduct long-term planning and implementation of the country's space-related activities.
