Zimbabwe's National Geospatial and Space Agency (ZINGSA) operates under the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development.

Officially opened in 2021, ZINGSA goals include harnessing space for national development, fostering research, and international cooperation in space-related activities. The role of ZINGSA for national development is recognised in Zimbabwe's National Development Strategy 2021 - 2025, and accordingly, the strategy calls for increasing ZINGSA's capabilities.

The agency launched ZIMSAT-1 in 2022, an Earth observation satellite for monitoring drought conditions, mapping mining activities, assessing crop health, and generating accurate weather forecasts. Satellite data for Zimbabwe is coordinated through the Mazowe ground station whose development was supported by the national budget of 2024.

Zimbabwe ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty and the International Telecommunication Constitution and Convention. It is a Member State to the International Telecommunications Agency, and the African Space Agency. As a Member State to the African Union, Zimbabwe adheres to key positions of the African Union such as the African Space Policy and African Space Strategy.
