Summary

COI synopsis: Africa has tremendous potential for future development. To plan the future it is essential to know in detail the land as it now is. Getting these details for maps and charts can be slow and laborious. Now, a rocket shot into space can gather the details to map a country in less than ten minutes. We show how it is done.
