The Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BIUST) and EnduroSat are building together the Botswana's first satellite, BOTSAT-1. The satellite, which will launch on SpaceX’s Transporter-13 mission no earlier than February 2025, will directly benefit Botswana's agriculture and mining industries. BOTSAT-1 will leverage its onboard hyperspectral camera payload to provide key intelligence on the contents of grounds and soils to empower decision-makers with information for long-term planning and investments.
