The Angolan National Space Program Management Office (GGPEN) is the entity responsible for the implementation and execution of the Angolan Space Program (PEN). Operating under the supervision of the Ministry of Telecommunications, Information Technologies and Social Communication (MINTTICS), GGPEN drives the development of Angola’s space sector, promoting innovative solutions that transform space technology into opportunities for the economy, society, and the general public.
GGPEN has successfully launched two geostationary satellites, ANGOSAT-1 and ANGOSAT-2, and is currently developing its first Earth Observation satellite, ANGEO-1.
The ANGOSAT-2, operated from the Satellite Mission and Control Center (MCC) in Luanda by a team of skilled Angolan engineers trained at some of the world’s leading aerospace universities, enables Angola to provide high-quality internet nationwide, as well as broadcasting and transmission services extending to Africa and Southern Europe.
Its mission is to transform space technology into innovative solutions that accelerate digital inclusion, strengthen national technological sovereignty, and foster new opportunities for socio-economic development in Angola and across Africa.
