Azercosmos, Azerbaijan’s space agency, and the Civil Aviation Authority of Botswana have announced a new partnership.

Under this long-term agreement, the Botswana government agency will utilise data services provided via the Azerspace-1 telecommunication satellite. Notably, this marks the inaugural provision of satellite data services to Botswana via the African C band coverage on the Azerspace-1 satellite.

Azercosmos currently supplies satellite services to nearly half of the 13 countries in Southern Africa. This collaboration with Botswana will enhance the deployment of Azerspace satellite services in large-scale data projects across Southern Africa.
