Angosat-2 it will be launch into orbit within two months

The Russian ambassador to Angola, Vladimir Tararov, assured that the launch of Angosat-2 will take place between April and May.

"This year, before the elections, we would like to launch and that was foreseen with our agreement in March, but it seems that we are going to delay a month or two because of the sanctions because there are many foreign components in this satellite", said the ambassador, quoted by the National Radio of Angola (RNA).

Vladimir Tararov added that some initial difficulties have already been overcome and took the opportunity to talk about the benefits that this satellite will bring to the country: "It will contribute to the development of several areas of cooperation between our countries, this can be in telecommunications, security, medicine".

It should be noted that Russia and Angola had already signed an agreement to produce a first satellite, Angosat-1. However, after entering orbit in 2017, the satellite got lost.

In 2018, a new agreement was signed for the construction of a second device, Angosat-2, to replace the first satellite.
