Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Ethiopia is preparing to launch its third earth observation satellite named ETRSS-02 in two years, according to the Space Science and Geospatial Institute.<\/p>\n

Recall that the previous satellites that have been launched into space have successfully completed their mission in the service period.<\/p>\n

Space Science and Geospatial Institute Director-General, Abdisa Yilma said that the government has conducted a financial and economic feasibility study regarding the launch of the third satellite.<\/p>\n

The study would take into consideration the experience from previous satellites and use the data to clearly define other missions, he added.<\/p>\n

Abdisa stated that the information about the satellite bid has been entered into the government’s electronic procurement system, and an international auction will be issued in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia launched the first ETRSS-01 earth observation satellite from China’s satellite launch site in December 2019, and its second earth observation satellite in 2020.<\/p>\n

The two satellites have completed their service period and achieved their mission, the director-general stated.<\/p>\n

The data obtained from the satellites have been used as inputs for agriculture, tourism, land management, natural resources, disaster risk reduction, and other activities.<\/p>\n

Moreover, institutions are using the information they obtained for their various works, including research.<\/p>\n

A multi-satellite data reception and control station, which can receive high-quality data from satellites, was put into operation last Ethiopian year.<\/p>\n
