Shaba North (also mentioned as Kapani Tonneo)[1][2] was the launch site of the first rockets launched by Orbital Transport und Raketen AktienGesellschaft, or Orbital Forwarding Company in English ("OTRAG").

[3][4][5] It is located at the edge of a mesa in Shaba (now Katanga province), the Democratic Republic of Congo.

[7][8][9] In 1977 and in 1978 three test flights of OTRAG rockets were launched from Shaba North.

[1][10] In 1979 OTRAG stopped launching rockets from Shaba North for political reasons.
