The resolve of All Nations University College (ANU) to put Ghana among Space Science nations in the world is about to be implemented. The team is poised to design and build and Amateur Satellite Ground Station this year, to take the credit of not only being the first University to have successfully designed and built a Miniature Satellite called CanSat in the sub-region, but also the first University to build a Satellite Ground Station. The much awaited Ground Station will to be used to track Amateur Satellite in Orbit, train engineers in Space and Satellite Engineering and for research purposes that will enhance both institutional and industrial activities in the sub-region. The team is tirelessly working to update the Scientific CV of Ghana by registering Ghana in the book of Space science countries. The project manager of ISSL, Mr. Benjamin Bonsu hinted that, they have executed all hardware integration and Software�s needed for the project.
