Elon Musk led SpaceX to launch 3 satellites made in the country of his birth
Elon Musk led SpaceX will launch three South Africa-produced nanosatellites into orbit as part of the upcoming Transporter-3 mission -- the first wholly made in the continent of his birth to be sent into space. The lift-off is scheduled to take place in the U.S. later on Thursday, and is part of a so-called rideshare where companies or governments book a slot for their craft aboard SpaceX’s rockets. More than 100 space vehicles are taking part in the program.
