Six permanent programme areas forming the backbone of UAS activity across Uganda.
Each permanent programme is led by a Programme Lead responsible for programme development, annual objectives, activity planning, member participation, technical coordination, reporting and continuity. Working groups are created when needed and dissolved once their purpose is complete — keeping UAS lean, flexible and activity-oriented.
School and university programmes building astronomy literacy across Uganda.
Variable star observing, meteor counting, and collaboration with regional observatories.
Mentorship, scholarships, and visibility for women pursuing physics and astronomy.
Organised stargazing events, public lectures, and night-sky experiences for all Ugandans.
Connecting astronomy to Uganda's broader space-science and technology ecosystem.
Preserving Ugandan and African astronomical knowledge and cultural sky traditions.
