The Kenya Space Agency (KSA)
has held discussions with Chinese aerospace company MinoSpace on collaboration
opportunities to enhance Kenya’s national space capability, including capacity
building, access to satellite data and the development of upstream and
downstream capabilities.
The discussions took place
during a visit to MinoSpace on Friday, 16 October 2026, led by KSA Director
General Maj Gen Hillary Kipkosgey and a delegation from the agency.
The delegation met with
