A second micro earthobservation satellite, SumbandilaSat was also launched in 2009, which was also designed and managed by students and researchers in the University. Algeria andNigeria also has their own space agency. Algeria launched its satellite AlSat-1, in 2002 and AlSat-2A, in 2010. Nigeria launched its first satellite, NigeriaSat-1, inSeptember 2003. NigeriaSat-1 provides medium-resolution imagery with daily revisit worldwide for monitoring disasters. Nigeria also launched NigeriaSat-NX andNigeriaSat-2 in 2011, which were designed and built by engineers from Nigeria’s space agency, National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) andSurrey Satellite Technology Ltd.

The project aims at developing a unified geodeticreference frame for Africa using data from a network of permanent Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations. GNSS includes the United States GlobalPositioning System (GPS), Russian GLONASS, the European Galileo, and Chinese Compass/Beidou Systems.852 United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), African Science, Technology and Innovation Review 2013, 2014, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia853 Global Geodetic Reference Frame for Sustainable Development, the first geospatial resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly (RES/69/266) on26 February 2015.
