Ghana's new Amateur Radio Satellite Ground Sation will be housed ar the All Nations University College

It follows the resolve of the All Nations University College to design and build an Amateur Satellite Ground Station this year. The planned Miniature Satellite Ground Station is to be used in tracking Amateur Satellites in orbit, train engineers in Space and Satellite Engineering, and for research purposes that will enhance both institutional and industrial activities in the sub-region.

The successful implementation of the project would, not only earn ANU the credit of being the first university to have successfully designed and built a miniature satellite called CanSat in the sub-region, but also the first University to build a Satellite Ground Station.
