In line with Space in Africa’s 2020 in Review series, we had a chat with Dr Yeshurun Alemayehu, the Deputy Director-General of Ethiopian Space Science & Technology Institute (ESSTI) on what the Institute has been up to in 2020 and what to look forward to in 2021. You signed new agreements and MoU this year, what does it mean for the Ethiopian National Space Program? Could you provide insight into ESSTI Space Budget for 2021? ESSTI Space Budget has been increasing from year to year. As the demand for space products increases, there is an increase in awareness to use space products and our government is putting more attention to the Space sector.
