Nigeria will in the near future, launch Satellite II and III into space, the Chief of Defence Space Administration, Air Vice-Marshall Ayo Jolasinmi, has disclosed.

According to him, his agency is better placed to use the space products that the first satellite offers.

He made the revelation during a courtesy call on the Minister of Defence, Maj-Gen. Bashir Magashi (rtd), in Abuja according to a statement by the Special Assistant to the Minister on Media and Publicity, Mohammad Abdulkadri on Friday.

Jolasinmi also said the orbit was working perfectly, adding that it would need the support of the ministry to service its frequency.

The statement partly read, “the Chief of the Defence Space Administration commended the Minister for approving his appointment and for ensuring the timely release of intervention funds which he said is cushioning the effects of the minimal budgetary allocation.

“Jolasinmi said DSA is better positioned to use Space products with the launch of the first Satellite, while Satellite 11 and 111 will be launched soon.

The Chief of the Defence Space Administration informed the Minister that the Orbit is working well, while the servicing of its frequency has been a work-in progress requiring continuous support by the Ministry.”

Speaking, the Minister of Defence also challenged the new management of the Defence Space Administration to raise the bar of technological advancement to tackle national insecurity.

He urged the DSA to deploy new technology to unlock space resources and satellites to compete favourably with the advanced technologies around the World.

He, however, assured the management of his continuous support towards mitigating the challenge of funding facing DSA.
