Angeo-1 is anticipated to improve infrastructure development, resource mapping, and maritime surveillance, including fisheries, agriculture, and population.
The agreement strengthens bilateral cooperation and will also see Airbus provide extensive training for Angolan engineers, according to a press release by the commercial airplane manufacturing giant on Saturday.
Angola has already used Airbus satellite imagery for agriculture monitoring, land use mapping, and maritime surveillance, in addition to its own telecommunications satellite. Angeo-1, an Airbus S250 optical satellite, will benefit from Airbus' 30-year experience in developing highly reliable space systems.Once operational, it will be the most advanced satellite in its class in the region, establishing Angola as a leading space power.
