Abstract
A Perspective of the Kenyan Space Programme: Past, Present and the Future
Kenya recognizes that a powerful component of technology that drives world economies is space technology and its applications. To manage these developments, the Kenyan government in 2009 gazetted the Kenya National Space Secretariat to initiate the process of formulating a National Space Programme and realize the Kenya Space Agency by 2012.
