01The capability ladder
Four rungs.
One spine.
Rocketry
Get something off the ground
A model rocket is the cheapest way to teach the whole engineering cycle — design, predict, build, fly, measure, explain the discrepancy. Nothing else gives a student a falsifiable prediction and an answer on the same afternoon.
Secondary schools · first-year undergraduate
RocketryRobotics
Make it act on the world
Space robotics is where control theory stops being a lecture. Rovers and manipulators built to operate under the same constraints a spacecraft has — a power budget, a comms window, and nobody coming to reset it.
Technical institutes · engineering undergraduate
RoboticsEduSat · satellite-to-IoT
Close a real link
The flagship. A 1U CubeSat that comes apart in your hands, with a working radio and a curriculum served from inside the satellite. This is the rung where students stop learning about spacecraft and start operating one.

EduSatSpaceport
Understand why location is destiny
Launch site geography is not a detail; it is the largest single lever on what a launch vehicle can deliver. Africa holds the most valuable launch latitudes on Earth, and almost nobody can show you the arithmetic for why.

Spaceport02 — The flagship
EduSat is the rung most
institutions come for.
A 1U CubeSat that comes apart in your hands, with deployable solar panels, a live software-defined radio, a full sensor suite, and the engineering curriculum served from inside the satellite. One thousand dollars, and a class can hold a spacecraft.
Comes apart
Modular 1U, 3D-printed, tool-light. Repeated disassembly is a design requirement, not a risk.
Talks
Software-defined radio on UHF and VHF with high-gain deployable antennas. A real link, not a simulation of one.
Senses
Magnetometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, barometric, UV and a camera. Enough to do actual attitude determination.
Teaches itself
A Raspberry Pi inside the satellite serves the curriculum and a code playground.
03Proof before procurement
Evaluate it before anyone signs anything.
Anyone
Coverage simulator, link budget, orbit and pass planner, full specification summary.
Confirmed institutional email
Telemetry console with recorded pass data, beacon decoder, curriculum preview, datasheet PDF, indicative price band.
Reviewed by the AfriOrbit team
Live hardware session on a real EduSat, formal quotation, procurement pack, pilot terms.
04Deployment models
Three shapes, one procurement conversation.

Test the claims before you talk to us.
Three simulators run in the browser with no account and no form. They are the same computations that run inside the curriculum — if the arithmetic does not hold up, you will find out in ten minutes rather than after a purchase order.
