Egypt to create a “space city” for space research and development
The new colonial movement: Mohamed al-Qousy, the head of Egypt’s space agency, announced yesterday that by the end of this year it will open a 123-acre site devoted to space research and commercial space business.
Qousy explained that the space city will contain 23 buildings to serve space activities, including a space academy, a research center, a center for the assembly of satellites, and a museum in the form of tourism in addition to the African Space Agency.
The agency aims to develop and transfer space science and technology into Egypt to build satellites and launch them from Egyptian territories.
It is not clear how much of this facility will be government-run, or privately owned. It appears most will be run by the government.
