PHOTOS: Kenya, Uganda & Egypt Successfully Launch First Climate Camera to Space Station

The ClimCam mission, a joint project between Kenya, Uganda, and Egypt, was launched on April 11, 2026, aboard the Cygnus NG-24 resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS). This climate monitoring system, designed to use artificial intelligence for generating real-time weather data, is expected to play a crucial role in monitoring floods and droughts in East Africa. ClimCam will be mounted on the Airbus Bartolomeo platform, allowing continuous observation of Earth's surface.
