South Africa's most powerful nano-satellite has successfully been launched into space. In 2013 the Cape Peninsula University of Technology made history with the launch of ZACUBE-1. Now the institution has done it again with ZACUBE-2, launched this morning with the Russian Soyuz Kanopus mission from Siberia. The satellite, developed by the French South African Institute at CPUT, will monitor marine traffic along the South African coast and also detect forest and veld fires.
