Seeking South African manufacturers for payload integration support services for the G20 Satellite Mission focused on climate and environmental observation. Responses required by June 22, 2026.
The South African National Space Agency (SANSA) is inviting qualified South African manufacturers to provide payload integration support services for the G20 Satellite Mission aimed at enhancing climate and environmental observation capabilities. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks to gather technical solutions and indicative pricing for payloads that meet specific flight heritage and qualification requirements. The payloads must be designed and manufactured in South Africa, with a delivery timeline aligned with the mission's launch scheduled for February 2027.
The G20 Satellite Mission represents a collaborative effort among G20 nations to develop a satellite dedicated to monitoring climate change and environmental conditions. Participating nations are expected to contribute payloads addressing critical application areas such as greenhouse gas mapping, aerosol characterization, and precipitation measurement. Respondents are required to demonstrate compliance with technical specifications, provide engineering support during integration and early operations, and ensure that payloads are delivered by September 2026. This initiative not only enhances South Africa's role in global environmental monitoring but also fosters local industry development in space technologies.
This tender is suitable for South African manufacturers and engineering firms specializing in aerospace technologies, particularly those with experience in satellite payload development and integration, as well as those capable of providing engineering support services.
