South Africa partners with China's Chang'e-8 lunar mission


May 25th commemorates the founding of the now African Union (AU) in 1963. It marks unity, pride, and reflection on Africa’s journey. Space science and technology have become powerful symbols of Africa’s progress and potential. Space matters to what Africa Day stands for
