Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Angolan communications satellite Angosat-2 will cover not only Angola, but all of Africa and part of Europe, Angolan Telecommunications Minister Mario Oliveira said in an interview with Sputnik.<\/p>\n

Oliveira also noted that the African nation could send its first astronaut into space with Russia’s help, but it is too early to talk about a specific date.<\/p>\n
