Uae & Kuwait To Boost Co-op In Space Industry
The UAE Space Agency has welcomed His Excellency Dr. Salah Mohammed Al-Baijan, Kuwait’s Ambassador to the UAE, to strengthen bilateral cooperation and collaboration in the space industry. During the meeting, both parties discussed ways to build on their long-standing partnership to accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies, enhance scientific expertise and catalyze growth in all space-related fields. They also spoke about Kuwait’s successful launch of its first satellite, the QMR-KWT – an abbreviation for Moon of Kuwait. It took off onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in June and served as another example of the Arab world’s ability to explore new frontiers and inspire youth, following Emirates Mars Mission’s Hope Probe – which will provide a complete picture of the Martian atmosphere and successfully entered the Red Planet’s orbit in February 2021. Kuwait and the UAE have an important bilateral relationship deeply rooted in a shared vision for economic growth and regional prosperity.
