Against this backdrop, it investigates the ASPS, identifying its policy goals identified and discussing its strategy. Moreover, it explores the on-going regional cooperation programmes, the continent's leading space actors and their roles, and the space-related regional fora and organizations, reflecting on various initiatives, including the African Leadership Conference on Space Science and Technology for Sustainable Development (ALC), the Regional African Satellite Communications Organisation (RASCOM), and the African Resource Management Satellite Constellation (ARMS-C). As such, it is a valuable source of information on space capacities in African countries.Southern Space Studies,2523-3718Law of the seaInternational lawAerospace engineeringAstronauticsPolitical scienceLaw of the Sea, Air and Outer Spacehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19060Aerospace Technology and Astronauticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050Political Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000Law of the sea.International law.Aerospace engineering.Astronautics.Political science.Law of the Sea, Air and Outer Space.Aerospace Technology and Astronautics.Political Science.341.4341Froehlich Annetteedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910349369703321Integrated Space for African Society1754632UNINA
