The Gabonese Agency for Space Studies and Observations (AGEOS) has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Land Satellite Remote Sensing Application Centre (LASAC) of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People’s Republic of China, which aims at advancing Gabon’s Earth observation capabilities.
The agreement was formalised during the China-Africa Cooperation Centre on Satellite Remote Sensing Application (CACSA) Week 2025, held from October 20-24, 2025, in Deqing, China.
Under this partnership, Gabon will receive daily access to very high-resolution satellite imagery (2 to 5 meters), a game-changing resource that will significantly enhance the nation’s capabilities in territorial surveillance, environmental stewardship, and sustainable economic planning.
The CACSA Week 2025 served as a pivotal platform where African and Chinese space sector institutions convened to explore cutting-edge remote sensing solutions designed to advance sustainable development across the continent.
