ClimCam Statement:

The CLIMCAM Project is a joint Uganda–Kenya–Egypt Earth-observation mission selected under the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA)–Airbus “Access to Space for All” programme. The project will deploy a climate-monitoring camera on the International Space Station (ISS) via the Airbus Bartolomeo platform and ArgUS payload carrier.

CLIMCAM will provide ~10 m resolution imagery and up to 4 orbital passes per day over Eastern Africa, supporting flood monitoring, drought assessment, agriculture, disaster response, and environmental management, complimenting data obtained from ground weather sensors and Machine Learning Early Warning Tools currently in use. 

The government of Uganda funded the specialised training of four (4) Engineers to design and develop the Space Camera at the Egyptian Space Agency. The project offers Uganda strategic value in environmental monitoring, technical capacity-building, regional leadership, and data sovereignty.
