About ESSS
Learn about the Ethiopian Space Science Society and our mission.
Our Mission
To build a society that is highly aware of space science and technology, and to make astronomical sciences accessible, inspiring the next generation of Ethiopian scientists and engineers.
Our History
Founded in 2004 with just a handful of passionate members, ESSS has grown into a national organization. We have driven the construction of the Entoto Observatory and Research Center, established astronomy clubs in schools across the country, and hosted international space science workshops.
Merchandise & Support
This store is the official source of ESSS themed merchandise. All proceeds go directly to funding astronomy outreach, purchasing telescopes for schools, and translating educational material into local languages. Your purchase is treated as a direct support donation.
Every Purchase Matters
When you buy shirts, hoodies, stickers, or tools from our store, 100% of the net income goes directly to funding astronomy workshops, high-school space clubs, stargazing public outreach, and the distribution of educational material. Together, we can make astronomy and space sciences reachable for everyone in Ethiopia.
