WINDHOEK, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) — Namibia on Thursday marked the official handover of a China-aided Satellite Ground Data Receiving Station, a milestone project aimed at strengthening the country’s space science capacity, disaster response and innovation-driven development.
The facility, located at the Telecom Earth Station outside the capital, Windhoek, is expected to enable Namibia to directly receive and process remote-sensing data from satellites, including the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite (CBERS-4).
Speaking at the ceremony on behalf of President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, Prime Minister Elijah Ngurare expressed appreciation to China for its support.
