Zim launches satellite

ZIMBABWE yesterday launched its first satellite, ZimSat-1 in the United States.

The launch, which was done by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa), was initially set for November 6, but was postponed due to a fire alarm.

The NG-18 rocket launched yesterday morning carries Zimbabwe’s ZimSat-1, and was aired on Nasa television and the agency’s website, as well as YouTube, Twitter, and Nasa’s App.
