Among those watching the developments were eight Kenyatta University students who, if all goes to plan, intend to launch a satellite into space this August. The university was among institutions of higher learning that were offered grants by the Kenya Space Agency to design satellites that can eventually be launched into space. And with Kenya being on the equator, the students say the country is in a good location to launch such satellites. But the students are not just concerned with taking the country to space. The fourth industrial revolution must happen in Africa," says Vigil Suerin, an aerospace engineering student at the university.
