The Egyptian Space Agency (EgSA)’s CEO Mohamed el-Koosy said on Tuesday that a 4-year project to train Egyptian astronauts has been devised and is awaiting approval. The announcement came in the first of a series of meetings organized by Egypt’s Technology Innovation Commercialization Office (TICO). He also announced the agency’s preparation of an educational learning platform for space technology, which is scheduled to be launched in April. A series called “Space Dream”, which is the first Egyptian animation series to introduce children to space science, will also be shown on the platform. Koosy explained that the Egyptian space program is currently working on 23 projects that include building satellites, human capabilities and infrastructure.
