ETRSS-1 is the first satellite launched by Ethiopia. It is an Earth Observation Satellite.{{Cite web|url=https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/etrss-1.htm|title = Etrss 1}} After launch the Ethiopian Space Science and Technology Institute spent several months calibrating and testing it. Photos were released in February 2020.{{cite web |url=https://etssti.org/new-images-from-etrss-1/ |date=2020-02-20 |title=New Images from ETRSS-1 |website=etssti.org |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808004602/https://etssti.org/new-images-from-etrss-1/ |archive-date=2020-08-08}}
