Kenya's first earth observation satellite launch has been postponed by 24 hours by Elon Musk's SpaceX company due to unfavorable weather conditions at the California launch site.
Along with other satellites from other nations, the Nation-1 satellite, or Taifa-1 in Swahili, was to be launched on a Falcon 9 rocket.
The delay was caused by "unfavorable upper-level wind conditions," according to a statement from the Kenya Space Agency, which would "affect the rocket's flight trajectory."
The launch is now anticipated to occur at Vandenberg Air Force Base on Wednesday, April 12.
A team of Kenyan engineers thoroughly conceptualized and created Taifa-1, and they worked with a Bulgarian aerospace firm to conduct testing.
In 2018, Kenya and Japan worked together to launch their first experimental nanosatellite from the International Space Station. Students from the University of Nairobi constructed it.
