Abstract

The United Republic of Tanzania is a developing state with challenges relating to poverty and maternal mortality rates. The country has very little connections to space technology and activity and only indirectly so. As a signatory to the African Space Policy and Strategy it is positioned to expand its connections to space technology, services and activities in general to enhance its developmental initiatives.
