About Us

The African Space Agency (AfSA) is the continental space agency of the African Union. It was established to coordinate and implement Africa's space ambitions. Headquartered in Egypt's Space City, AfSA is the primary body for space-related activities across Africa.

The African Space Agency will be the primary point of contact for Africa’s cooperation with Europe and other international partners. One of its key objectives, as outlined in the African Space Agency Act, is to enhance space missions across Africa, ensuring optimal access to space-derived data, information, services, and products. Once fully integrated into national, regional, and continental programmes, AfSA will be crucial in eliminating duplication and inefficiencies within the African space ecosystem. As the official body overseeing and coordinating these efforts, it will also be responsible for effectively implementing the African Space Policy and Strategy and achieving the continent’s space-related goals.
