Our nation Ghana has a lot to learn to master the technology of satellite making. STEMIC in our educational institutions would help. Put God aside & let's focus on rigorous teaching of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Innovations, & Communications to really reach the stars. God would always be there challenging us to excel.

I'm still waiting for the day a Ghanaian will build a plane that flies with a pilot in Ghana. Even if it's a airframe plane.

Ghanaba you are a fool, stupid fool, damn despicable stupid fool. The thing was built in Japan, lunched in the US and you are insulting Francis for saying the truth, someone said in the video that the black man is capable of managing his own affairs, tell that person that he is more stupid than you. You always hide behind the empty words of Nkrumah to disturb people, we are fed up with the mighty green teeth of the so-called savior that can not bite.

Don"t mind those insulting nana addo. They are mahama"s puppies and toy soldiers. They have never worked before, they stayed home chilling and got paid monthly by mahama. Now that he has been voted out they have lost their source of income. That"s why they hate nana so much. The ndc party facilitated the trips of most toy soldiers abroad.

Every satellite has a mission. The article does not mention whether it is for communications, environmental research or what. The whole article is bogus.

You couldn't read to understand such a simple British English. The Associate Doctor said, it can be used in fight of Galamsey, and help in accurate reports of environmental and ecological effects in the region.

The team member Enoch said that when satellites are launched they are sent to the ISS (international space station) where they are held and then released into orbit. this is NOT TRUE. Satellites are launched from earth into their designated orbits straightway. so much info is missing from this report.
1. how big is the satellite?
2. how much did it cost to build it?
3. Which space company launched it?
4. How much did it cost to launch?
5. What is its orbit, low earth orbit?

KNUST where are you? A University that is established to take care of our developmental needs that has turned into liberal Arts college. Competing with University colleges as if its establishment has no objective with so many talking drums as lecturers. The only Science university that produces clerical engineers in the world. I wonder if non of the so called professors from knust will not call it reengineering.
