The Namibian published on 7 September 2022 an article titled "China Strengthens Space Cooperation with Nam" by Sophie Tendane.
China recently hosted a virtual discussion between students from 8 African countries and 3 Chinese astronauts from the Tiangong space station. Students in Namibia took part in the discussion. Namibia has a special space relationship with China. In 2001, China built a tracking and command station at Swakopmund to track Chinese space missions. China has pledged to construct a satellite digital-receiving ground station on the outskirts of Windhoek. China will also train Namibian technicians on space technology and conduct space research with Namibia.
