Pretty logical move. Never thought much about satellites and ability to communicate with them until I was assigned to HQUSCENTCOM in the 80s. That's when I learned all about how satellites are aimed for certain regions and if you were outside that region getting information from a satellite wasn't necessarily easy to do. Africa certainly isn't an area that is a priority for satellites launched by western nations, so it makes sense for African nations to launch their own.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen – Well said, Colonel Christensen. Thanks for chiming in, Sir. Sounds like you've managed a few CDRUSCENTCOM-(CCIRs) Command Critical Information Requirements—https://www.c-span.org/video/?442299-1/centcom-africom-commanders-testify-fiscal-year-2019-budget
