The South African National Space Agency (SANSA) has welcomed Fabio Mando, Chief Operating Officer of Eutelsat, earlier this week for a site visit focused on the agency’s hosting and operation of Eutelsat’s OneWeb antennas.

Mando, accompanied by Chris de Beer, Eutelsat’s Site Manager for Africa, toured the SANSA facilities, gaining firsthand insight into operational processes and infrastructure management. The visit also served as a platform for discussions on ongoing collaboration and performance optimization between the two organisations.

Both parties reaffirmed the strength of their partnership, highlighting satisfaction with the quality of services provided and underscoring a shared commitment to continued cooperation in satellite operations and space-based services.

The engagement reflects SANSA’s focus on fostering strategic partnerships to enhance South Africa’s space capabilities.
