Pulbished on:

Tripoli, May 2, 2023 (Lana) The Director General of the Libyan Center for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, Akram Al-Kaseh, announced that the Libyan government was making serious efforts to localize the technology and acquire a remote sensing satellite to make satellite images and data available to users within Libyan institutions and students at universities and institutes.

This came during his participation in the conference (New Space for Africa 2023), which was held recently in Ivory Coast, during which Al-Kaseh gave a visual presentation on all the center's activities regarding space technologies and satellite services during the previous periods.

According to the SMS page of the center, Al-Kaseh participated in a meeting of directors of space institutions and agencies in African countries to develop an action plan to implement space programs under the African Space Agency, which has been hosted by the Egyptian Space Agency since last January and is based in Cairo.

The conference was attended by more than 300 officials, experts, and participants, including heads of space institutions and agencies, experts and consultants in the area, academics, faculty members, and a group of private sector companies from 54 countries.
