Ethiopian Space Science encompasses several entities working to develop Ethiopia's capabilities in space research and technology. Key players include the Space Science and Geospatial Institute (SSGI), formed in 2022 from the merger of the Ethiopian Space Science Technology Institute (ESSTI) and the Geospatial Information Institute (GII), focusing on space and geospatial technologies. The Ethiopian Space Science Society (ESSS), a non-profit organization founded in 2004, also plays a crucial role. These organizations collaborate on research, training, and infrastructure development, launching satellites like ETRSS-1 and ET-SMART-RSS with international partners.
