{UAH} People behind Uganda 's spaceship project

Edgar Mujuni

Mr Edgar Mujuni, 3, hails from Mitooma District, originally greater Bushenyi

He is currently undertaking a Master's degree in space Systems Engineering from Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan. 

He holds a first class Degree in Telecommunications Engineering from Kyambogo University where he developed the best individual project in his final year of an Automatic Stamping robot with digital counters. Edgar did a CISCO Certified Network Associate course from Makerere University.

He studied from Nyakihita Primary School in Mitooma, and did his secondary school education from Mbarara High School where he was the best science student.

In the development of Uganda's first Satellite (PearlAficaSat-1) he has been responsible for a number of satellite subsystems including communication subsystem that entails all the satellite communication from the ground station to the satellite in the Orbit.  This involves a lot of testing because communication is the backbone and failure to communicate with the satellite is not an option.

Bonny Omara

Mr Bonny Omara is a 35-year-old engineer from the Otuke District, northern Uganda. He went to Olilim Primary School and Adwari Senior Secondary School, both in Otuke District. He attended Teso College Aloet in Soroti for  his A-Level.

Mr Omara holds a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering from Busitema University and a post graduate Diploma in Information System Management from Uganda Management Institute. Currently, he is specialising in Space Systems Engineering at Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech), Japan. 

From the various satellite projects that he participated in at Kyushu Institute of Technology, he has gained extensive hands-on experience in satellite development, right from problem identification, satellite design, testing, and disposal. With his vast skills and experience, he will undoubtedly develop subsequent satellites in-house in Uganda while boosting the country's internal capacity to develop the industrial value chain for space science and technology given the political will at hand.

Derrick Tebusweke

Mr Derrick Tebusweke,  29, has a Bachelor's Degree of science in Electrical Engineering from Makerere University. 

His current specialisation is Master of Science in Space Systems Engineering from Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. 

In Uganda's first Satellite, he was in-charge of the electrical power sub-system, its safety review verification tests, power budget development, electrical Interface management with other subsystems, and deployment switches mechanism.  He attended his secondary education at Makerere College School.
