A new space research facility in Douala
RECA is a collaborative space with the academic world around communications, data and prototyping.
RSA-1 enters the mission definition phase
The nanosatellite programme formalizes its objectives, use cases and technical partnerships.
Understanding the orbital mechanics
Why a spacecraft doesn't just fly upwards: speed, gravity, transfers and orbit-keeping geometry.
How observation satellites are transforming climate research
Repeated measurements from orbit reveal environmental changes on a scale that is not possible to measure with ground-based instruments alone.
The role of artificial intelligence in space exploration
From anomaly detection to autonomous navigation, machine learning is useful when its limits are designed with as much care as its capabilities.
Ground stations in orbit: understanding space communications
A signal must travel the distance, the noise and follow a moving target before it becomes useful information on Earth.
Why CubeSats are transforming access to space
Standardised dimensions have reduced the barrier to entry, but the success of a small mission still depends on rigorous system engineering.
Reading the radio sky
Radio astronomy converts weak electromagnetic signals into maps of objects and phenomena invisible to optical telescopes.
