Southern Angola suffers a long period of drought, with temperatures recorded in 2019, being the highest in 45 years (UNICEF 2020, 2). This situation directly affects Angolan daily life, which brings the necessity for projects that monitor and mitigate the effects of drought. With that, satellite technologies are a great ally in the study, providing real-time information for decision making. The National Space Management Office (GGPEN), created in 2013, was the milestone of the beginning of the Angolan space program, being directly responsible for the country's space issues. This article aims to explore the projects in the Angolan space sphere that have contributed to the monitoring of drought in the country through satellite technology and how scientific diplomacy helps in this process.
