Technology and Innovation is the hallmark of any country that is on the path to the top. President Traore understands and that is why as he is battling the insecurity in the country, he is also focused on building and encouraging technological innovations in the country. In this context it would interest you to know that Burkina Faso is about to reach for the stars, not figuratively but literally. The country’s scientists are set to launch the Burkina SAT 1 project, Burkina Faso’s first ever satellite initiative. This Earth observation nanosatellite is set to transform the lives of the nation’s citizens by offering new opportunities for technological advancement and connectivity. This is not just mind blowing but it signifies an important step in the country’s journey to technological advancement that will aid in addressing critical issues including Agriculture, water management and climate resilience. So, when did Burkina Faso start this project and why? Why would Burkina Faso gain from this project? Let’s find out.

The Burkina SAT 1 project reflects Traore’s commitment to sustainable development and scientific progress. Think about it. This is actually the first ever satellite to be launched by Burkina Faso. However even though Traore is dealing with a lot as President of the country from security to Economic development, he hasn’t pushed technological innovations to the side. We can now see again why those US military commanders called him a sophisticated leader. Now, according to the reports, the first Burkinabe Satellite, the Burkina SAT 1 will be launched into space by the end of this year, if there are no obstacles. Tests have already been successfully completed. Initially, Burkina Faso signed a contract with China for the launch and deployment of the Burkina SAT 1 into outer space and based on the contract it was slated for the 3rd of May this year. However, due to some technological reasons the launch and deployment was delayed. Hopefully, everything works out well so it’s ready to be deployed by the end of this year.
