The development of a satellite ground segment complex in Namibia has been approved by the Namibia Infrastructure Development and Investment Fund (NIDIF) management enterprise, Eos Capital. The development of the complex will be led by satellite service provider and now also emerging space satellite services sector infrastructure developer Q-KON Namibia (part of the South African Q-KON group). Q-KON Namibia is licensed by the Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia. The project is dubbed the Namibia Space Port, although it will, as currently described, not actually be a space port. Strictly speaking, this term refers to a place from which spacecraft are launched from, and sometimes also return to, Earth.
