Growing Support for Progress of Small Satellite is Fueling the Middle East & Africa Small Satellite Market
Various government authorities and companies across the MEA have invested in the small satellite market owing to the increasing need for small satellites for various applications such as earth observation, communication and navigation, and scientific research. In November 2021, Fleet Space Technologies raised US$ 26 million in funds to expand the nanosatellite IoT connectivity fleet. Such investments from governments drive the growth of the small satellite market. The use of small satellites helps government authorities maintain national security, capture data regarding areas damaged by earthquakes or floods, monitor suspicious ships, and serve other purposes such as communication & navigation, earth observation, and scientific research operations. The governments of various countries are supporting the development of small satellites for earth observation. Under the project, the government announced that they would support the companies for quick construction and domestic production of a small satellite. Thus, the increasing initiatives for the development of small satellites fuel the growth of the Middle East & Africa small satellite market .Middle East & Africa Small Satellite Market Overview
