China hands over satellite ground station to Namibia state media reports
The Chinese-built ground data receiving station will “significantly enhance Namibia’s ability to receive and process remote-sensing data from satellites,” the state-run Xinhua news agency said on Friday. As the U.S. has pulled back from aid to African countries, China has been building alliances and widening its space footprint on the continent, offering satellites, laboratories, and monitoring stations. Beijing says it is helping boost African space programmes because it wants no country left behind. Reuters has reported that China’s aid projects are giving it access to a broader surveillance network as it seeks space dominance. Beijing can tap data and images collected from satellites, telescopes and ground stations it has provided African countries. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
