Can u get these channel without DSTV Box?

MARKone:
Maybe Rats has entered the engine bay and chopped all the wires and control switches, making it lost in space.

DjAndroid:


So anything that is linked to Nigeria also experiences power failures even in the orbit. Na waoo.

But I can remember when the satellite failed in 2008,they said the operators in Abuja forgot to charge the batteries. Bunch of daft individuals.

sinkhole:
Ghana, that Ghana over there oh! Don lunch satellite using their own rocket and they recently launched their own in-house built satellite too.
Nigeria sent people go Surrey to learn how to build satellite yet no single satellite, even just a mock satellite, has been built in Nigeria

Omagzee:
Nigeria is just synonymous with failure

symbianDON:
currently I have about 50 channels or so on my satellite receiver (free to air) being beamed by Nigcomsat 1R. this proves that Nigcomsat satellite is alive and working. a simple google search query will answer the question.

belindar:
Misplaced priorities. Common electricity, The govt cannot provide for its citizens and they talking and embarking on a project where they know they will Thief money. Stupid people.

harizonal123:
No sensible answer from all comments so far. Everything in Nigerian is now a joke including serious matters like this

benzems:
My brother nothing like satellite
That was a computer design

whitecloth:
personally guys I don't comment on NL but this got me inquisitive to know more about this satellite of a thing with those free channels on it.
will @ eddyralph01, symbianDON, Nikuchi, lekkie073 kindly break our ignorance in full on this thing and how we can benefit or make good use of it.
Thanks

Rossikki:


You are a FU.CKI.NG LIAR. Ghana did NOT build or launch any satellite ''in house''. Bunch of fcking demons like you coming here to tell lies. Why don't you go fck yourself, you self hating bastard?

Have Nigerian scientists not built satellites that are in space right now? What have you ever built in your fcking useless life? Animal. Only good to rubbish the hardwork of others while doing fckall yourself.

Ordinary Chinese folks without university education are manufacturing things in their backyard that useless loafers like you will import and use. Why can't you do the same in your backyard? And then those Nigerians that are doing something, you criticise and lie against with your big fat useless loud mouth. Go fck yourself, you and all the ASSHOLES on this thread criticising while being utterly useless themselves.

Rossikki:


You are a stupid, lying pig. Your father forgot to ''charge batteries''. Illiterate dummy.

Rossikki:


Olodo.. don't research and learn. Wasted education.

Who said the batteries failed?

Are you typing something for typing sake?

Rossikki:


Stop talking rubbish. India and Pakistan have power outages on a daily basis, but that has not stopped them from embarking on space exploration and even nuclear power. Development is not 'one thing at a time'. You develop everything you can at the same time.

This country has been on auto reverse since 1960. Sad truth we fail to acknowledge

Litmus:
Nigerians should be very proud of Nigeria's achievements so far in space. Because of Nigeria's adventurous and can-do spirit, which enabled us to view space exploration not solely as the the preserve of Western Nations, Nigeria invested in her own space program and arguably sparked of the interest in space now spreading throughout Africa. South Africa's previous exploits did not do this for Africa.

In many ways, Nigeria is a remarkable Nation, one being seriously wronged by the lies and ill wishes from the many Africans and none Africans on Niraland.

The future is space exploration. Anyone who tells you that Nigeria shouldn't invest in space and then tries to couch this fear in the context of competing demands, is either a patronising white person or foolish and short-sighted Blackman. Or sly types...

Rossikki:


YOU are synonymous with failure. Leave Nigeria out of it. Is Nigeria a person? Nope. It is some INDIVIDUALS in Nigeria like you, who are synonymous with failure.

Ghana launches its first satellite into space
Ghana has successfully launched its first satellite into space.

GhanaSat-1, which was developed by students at All Nations University in Koforidua, was sent into orbit from the International Space Station.

Cheers erupted as 400 people, including the engineers, gathered in the southern Ghanaian city to watch live pictures of the launch. The first signal was received shortly afterwards.

It is the culmination of a two-year project, costing $500,000 (£400,000).

It received support from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

The satellite will be used to monitor Ghana's coastline for mapping purposes, and to build capacity in space science and technology.

Richard Damoah, director of the Space Systems Technology Laboratory at the All Nations University, said it marked a new beginning for the country.

"It has opened the door for us to do a lot of activities from space," he told the BBC.

He said it would "also help us train the upcoming generation on how to apply satellites in different activities around our region.

"For instance, [monitoring] illegal mining is one of the things we are looking to accomplish."

Ghana to get first spaceship launch pad in Africa
Ghana is set to become the first country in Africa to get a Spaceship Launch pad, following a partnership deal between KESHE Foundation Ghana and BONADES Limited, a Ghanaian-owned Construction Engineering Management (CEM) company.

The two companies are combining their expertise for the development and construction of the first-of-its-kind Spaceship Research Centre in Ghana.

The agreement comes after the completion of the feasibility studies and preliminary architectural and engineering designs, and presentation to both the Client and foreign Investors.
The KESHE Spaceship Research Centre construction will start at the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission in Accra.

KESHE Foundation International would invest a total of $21 million on the project, which would consist of an Administration block, Healthcare facility (Clinic), Factory, Research Centre and the first African Flight launch pad.

With the building and opening of this new centre within the next 12 months, in line with President Nana Akufo-Addo’s one-district-one-factory agenda, the Foundation would bring new cutting-edge technologies to Ghana and make Ghana one of the leading nations in the world of Science and Spaceship while providing decent sustainable job opportunities to both ordinary citizens and high-earned skilled world-class Technologists and Scientists.

In October 2016, following the conference organised by the Keshe Foundation International, in collaboration with Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) and subsequent meetings, led to formation of Keshe Foundation Ghana, a Ghanaian registered company jointly owned by the two organizations.

Why Ghana dey launch satellite for space
Ghana go join di league of nations wey dey occupy di heavens today as president, Nana Akufo-Addo, go launch first satellite dish into space.

With dis launch, Ghana go be di second country for Africa to launch satellite from inside di country. The first na South Africa. This go help scientists from around di world know wetin dey happen for inside Ghana.

Di satellite na part of work wey di Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) and di Square Kilometer Array Africa (SKA Africa), wey dey for South Africa join hand do.

Professor Dickson Adomako wey dey work for GAEC say dis na only stage one for the satellite plan wey dem do and di next thing na to begin dey build satellite dish for ground wey go dey collect information from di sky.

Di professor also talk say when di project go finish for around 2019, di South African company wey help dem go release their hand, come leave am for Ghana to manage.

Professor Adomako also talk say di launch of this satellite dish go help build tourism for Ghana as scientists from all over di world go wan come see how di satellite dey work.

Dis one no be di first time wey Ghana name dey link with space.

For June dis year, three engineering graduates for di All Nations University College, Ghana join hand with Kyutech Institute of Technology to build wetin them call GhanaSat-1.

Di students launch satellite cube wey be di first African university satellite.
