Creating knowledge and developing skills

The long-term sustainability of the South African space programme and the increase in our market share of global space technology and competitiveness are strongly dependent on the continued creation of new knowledge as a bedrock for space technology development, innovation and services.
Local space science research and knowledge capital will enable South Africa to create its own space know-how and reach its optimum innovative and competitive capacity and self-reliance.
