Uganda’s first-ever satellite, PearlAfricaSat-1, has been launched into space, aboard an American Spaceship. The satellite is expected to be deployed in the low earth orbit for observation and data collection after docking at the International Space Station. Edgar Mujuni is one of three Ugandan engineers who constructed the satellite under a multinational satellite design programme. He told Newsday: “The satellite is supposed to help us…most especially our disaster management systems.” (Picture: The International Space Station backdropped against the Earth. Credit: Getty Images.)
