UAE Establishes Emirati Space Academy to Drive Growth in Space Industry

 


The UAE has launched the Emirati Space Academy, a critical program aimed at enabling the next generation of Emiratis who wish to work in the rapidly expanding space sector. The UAE Space Agency's chairwoman and minister of state for advanced technology and public education, Sarah Al Amiri, stressed the academy's importance in forming the country's high-tech future in an exclusive interview. The school offers a dedicated place for learning, research, and practical experiences, enabling Emirati students to delve into spacecraft design, mission planning, and cutting-edge technology. It is sponsored by the Dh3 billion ($820 million) space budget launched last year.

The academy, which is housed in the recently constructed offices close to the Dubai World Trade Center, is in line with the UAE's long-term economic sustainability and technological advancement goals. Sarah Al Amiri emphasized the value of working in tandem with the private sector, stressing that increasing the number of private sector businesses will lead to the creation of new job possibilities. The institution, which has already started workshops, hopes to generate graduates with knowledge and an entrepreneurial spirit to promote innovation in the quickly expanding space industry.

The UAE has taken a critical step forward in developing its space industry with the founding of the Emirati Space Academy. The United Arab Emirates firmly establishes itself as a major actor in the international space exploration scene by emphasizing the development of local talent and building an independent space program. This bold step demonstrates the UAE's commitment to influencing the direction of space exploration and advances the country's space capabilities while also igniting a sense of pride in the country.

Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
