(MENAFN - Morocco World News) Rabat - Morocco's high-resolution satellite imaging is shifting power relations across North Africa. Mohammed VI: Game-changer satellite Launched in early November 2017, the Mohammed VI-A satellite is Morocco's second functioning satellite. However, in terms of quality and performance, the five-month old device is by far the North African country's premier satellite. The Mohammed VI-A satellite operates from Kourou, in French Guiana, at the Centre Spatial Guyanais. Considering how Moroccan officials and security experts continue updating technology during those years, the specialist suggested that Mohammed VI-A may have 'irreversibly' swung the North Africa's regional balance of power in Morocco's favor.
