"Nigeria has a background with satellites," Nigerian engineers and scientists?
- More the government, since they contracted it out. Changed to that. Kees08 (Talk)
"Sometimes MongolSat-1 is referred to as Mongolia's first satellite, but it was launched by Bermuda-based company ABS and built by U.S. company Boeing. It was co-branded as MongolSat-1 after launch. Birds-1 successfully launched the first satellite for Bangladesh, Ghana, Mongolia, and Nigeria." ^{[citation needed]}
- Added Kees08 (Talk)
"as part of the Joint Global Multi-Nation Birds Satellite project, which is a cross-border interdisciplinary satellite project for non-spacefaring countries supported by Japan" No need to mention the project twice.
- Fixed, I think. Kees08 (Talk)
"The satellites communicate with seven ground stations: one in each of the countries participating in the Birds-1 program, and one each in Thailand and Taiwan. The satellites all use the same radio frequency." Make sure no consecutive sentences start with the same words.
