SpaceX to Launch Albania’s First Satellites Into Orbit Next Year

Albania is preparing to enter among the countries with its own two satellites in space, announced the country’s prime minister referring to SpaceX Albania cooperation.

Edi Rama shared a video on his Facebook account including a dialogue with an official of a company, most likely SpaceX, that will carry the satellites into orbit in 2022.

The Falcon 9 rocket of Elon Musk’s SpaceX company is clearly seen at the beginning of the video. Albania’s first satellite dubbed Albania 1 will be sent into orbit in March 2022. The launch date of Albania 2 is set for June next year.

“Albania in orbit. Incredible but real,” said Rama, who seems excited in the video.

He has lately said that they would have their own satellites to strengthen the control over its territory.
