Rwanda Space Agency (RSA) is Rwanda's national space agency, established in 2021 under the Ministry of ICT and Innovation. Part of Rwanda's Vision 2050 strategy to become a knowledge-based economy, RSA launched RwaSAT-1 — a 3U CubeSat for Earth observation — in December 2021 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter-3 rideshare, becoming one of Africa's newest countries to own an operational satellite.
