The need for a space station is considered a top priority so that Africa can have its achievements and the foundations of a future that keeps pace with modern developments. As a historical perspective, we find that colonialism established the French Union in 1946 and adopted a special strategy related to the regional region of North/West/Central Africa, based on a vision that sees the necessity of building an industrial complex in the desert. Greater Africa and Africa as a military/economic project constitute the secure background base for France’s achievements that allow it to lead in the international system established after the end of World War II.
Due to the presence of a military center for testing special equipment, established on April 24, 1947, and after the Air Force tested its equipment in 1949, the French Army’s interest in the center increased and it was allocated, starting in 1952, to developing missile capabilities and completing ballistic missiles, then thinking about space industries starting in 1957 and ending with the launch of the first satellite. In November 1965, the station was then closed in 1967 and the French forces left.
Since that period, Algeria has not witnessed the existence of a program related to the completion of a space station, and this is due to the strategic nature of the project, whose knowledge, sciences, and material capabilities are limited to the great powers, which allows it to have strategic superiority.
