Nigeria To Launch Two More Satellites Into Space Soon – Defence Agency by Islie: 8:12pm On Mar 31, 2023
The Chief of Defence Space Administration, Air Vice Marshall Ayo Jolasinmi, has disclosed that Nigeria will launch Satellite II and III into space soon.

Jolasinmi made this known on Friday during a courtesy call on the Minister of Defence, Major General Bashir Magashi (retd), in Abuja, noting that the agency was better placed to use the space products that the first satellite offered.

Jolasinmi in a statement by the Special Assistant to the Minister on Media and Publicity, Mohammad Abdulkadri on Friday also said the orbit was working perfectly, adding that it would need the support of the ministry to service its frequency.

The statement read in part; “The Chief of the Defence Space Administration thanked the Minister for approving his appointment and for ensuring the timely release of intervention funds which he said is cushioning the effects of the minimal budgetary allocation.

“Jolasinmi said DSA is better positioned to use Space products with the Launch of the first Satellite while Satellite two and three will be launched soon.”

“The Chief of the Defence Space Administration briefed the Minister that the Orbit is working well while the servicing of its frequency has been a work in progress requiring continuous support by the Ministry.”

However, the Minister of Defence while speaking also challenged the new management of the Defence Space Administration to raise the bar of technological advancement to tackle national insecurity.

He urged the DSA to deploy new technology to unlock space resources and satellites to compete favourably with the advanced technologies around the World.

He, however, assured the management of his continuous support towards mitigating the challenge of funding facing DSA.

Nigeria is the world's poverty capital, yet you guys are more interested in launching satellites. Please invest Nigeria's scarce money into ventures and projects that will lift people out of poverty.

The next thing we will hear now is that they have parked the satellite. Apparently, Nigeria is the only country in the world where government officials park satellites when it stops working.

The worst launching is the launching of churches in Nigeria that lead to the complete abandonment of science and engineering

Not to sound religious...but for a real fact, Bible has advanced and proven science facts. Some scientists have used her ideas to set a trajectory for their remarkable feat. You should be academically sound if you read the Bible by yourself or religiously blind if you wait on pastors and prophets before you read it

If they don't do it now you will say Government is not creating a good business environment or they are siphoning our money. Some Nigerians have fish brain. No offense.

The same way some of you don't understand why INEC spent 300billion naira and claiming it should have used it to improve lives... shallow minds. BVAS machine for the whole polling unit in Nigeria (let's assume 700,000machines X #20,000per device = 14billion) software customization and installation, hosting and updating, 30billion, I.T company staff payment 20billion (currency exchange), logistics (flights, accomodation in both countries, transportation, licenses, taxes etc) for machine and staff from very first day 35billion,now come to naija logistics within naija will be way more expensive because the organization will need to overpay it's staff for transport service to avoid stories that would disturb the credibility of the process. transportation cost in naija alone go reach 50billion, not to forget they were also operating during the fuel crisis and cashless crisis, staff payment (regular) and ad-hoc 80billion or more, housing/logding/feeding 50billion. The pre and post process will cost nothing less than 280billion with miscellaneous and failed/repeated tasks.

In this same way, you know next to nothing about launching satellites, ordinary companies have thousands of satellites which is why you are enjoying their service (they now rely on cloud service as against website traffic alone) Talk of SpaceX alone not even the whole Tesla company (launched around 30,000 satellites and Amazon is planning to do almost the same). We are even talking about the big guys like Google, NASA etc Big Tech companies etc. Now naija wanted to launch 2 satellites, just 2 and there is uproar already that they should use the money for something else, later you will be crying that data is expensive, Nigeria is backward, Food is expensive, Security is wack, No job etc...I bet you don't know importance of having satellites. Satellites are your best bet for accurate and reliable data transfer and capturing. Nigeria a should have launched tens of thousands satellites Boko Haram and kidnappers would have been long gone several years back with strategic and precise multiple hits with less casualty to civilian hostages, instead of wasting soldiers lives on land combat with less sophisticated arsenal. Logistics companies would have made for prices cheaper as they would know who are where foods needs to be supplied to withdraw excess and avoid wastages like the developed countries do, Jobs for everyone, Ease of government services and more credibility as government would not need to rely on person to person information. True statistics and lots more are the benefits of having/launching satellites
