Our Centre of Excellence for Advanced Radio Communication Systems
Founded in 2021, AAC Space Africa was established to capitalize on the rapidly growing market for satellites and space services in Africa. AAC Space Africa will design, build, and deliver space missions to the continent from its Cape Town base in South Africa’s Western Cape Province. This new AAC Clyde Space company will also be the group’s centre of competence for advanced radio communication.
The need for space services in Africa is growing rapidly as Government, companies and communities seek efficient ways to support development and build out crucial infrastructure. We see great potential for small satellites to provide timely, accurate and targeted data for sectors such as weather forecasting, ocean monitoring, agricultural planning, and land management.
The ability to provide data from space and monitor key issues across the continent will help Africa develop at a far more rapid pace over the next decade. Adding local presence and expert knowledge to our existing commercial offering will put AAC Clyde Space in an excellent position to address these growing needs. We look forward to taking an active role in the South African space community and the wider market.
