@National Security, thank you so much for that very good question. When our West African neighbours are launching Space Satellite into far away space, we are launching a Cathedral into a bottomless pit that keeps sapping the loans we borrow from China.

God has crippled the national cathedral because our taxes were being used illegally to construct it.

Why is the Senegalese satelite launching is carried out in far away California, USA, but not in Dakar, Senegal?
Senegalese must quit deceiving themselves.

Most rockets carrying satellites into orbit take off towards the east, in the same direction of the earths rotation, in order to gain enough energy from the earths rotation. If you launch it from Senegal, it will go over the country and other countries and pose a risk to people and things on the ground, if the launch fails.
That is one reason why even some developed countries
sometimes launch rockets from other countries along or near the equator.

Ghana also launched satellite few years back. People are too ignorant. I'm not surprised by what Ken Adjepong said.

Well done Senegal a true gateway to Africa not our dear motherland Ghana, where PhD holders i.e Drs and professors have become serial callers, pundits, political stooges instead of using their brains and acquired knowledge to put us on the global achievement scale. If it's not Dr akwetey not spewing NDC infused nonsensical propaganda garbage, it's professor ransford gyampoh tripping himself from radio station to radio station.well done Senegal.

Brigadier! I concur
Ghana has lost direction. Free education being trumpeted by the Akuffo Addo's NPP government is certainly not a measure of what Ghana can achieve.

There goes the Ghanaian who compares anything to his home country. Had Senegal staged any military coup in their political history? We had independent before them and when was the last time their soldiers overthrew an elected government unlike Ghana where others are wishing for a coup today.

These achievements demand continue governance because it need investment.

So, Ghanaians who are demeaning their own country should understand that these developments do not come through selling of cheap kenkey but education and investment.

Ghana has successfully launched its first satellite into space.

GhanaSat-1, which was developed by students at All Nations University in Koforidua, was sent into orbit from the International Space Station.

Cheers erupted as 400 people, including the engineers, gathered in the southern Ghanaian city to watch live pictures of the launch. The first signal was received shortly afterwards.

It is the culmination of a two-year project, costing $500,000 (£400,000).

It received support from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

The satellite will be used to monitor Ghana's coastline for mapping purposes, and to build capacity in space science and technology.

Richard Damoah, director of the Space Systems Technology Laboratory at the All Nations University, said it marked a new beginning for the country.

"It has opened the door for us to do a lot of activities from space," he told the BBC.

He said it would "also help us train the upcoming generation on how to apply satellites in different activities around our region.

"For instance, [monitoring] illegal mining is one of the things we are looking to accomplish."
