Two members of the Bahrain Space Team of the National Space Science Authority (NSSA) have participated in the construction and designing of the Emirati mini-satellite “DhabiSat”, which was launched on February 20, from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, US and arrived at the International Space Station (ISS).
The launch marked another milestone in the UAE’s space journey.
Less than two weeks ago, the Emirates made history when its Hope probe successfully entered the orbit of Mars to begin a two-year data-collecting mission. The miniature satellite DhabiSat is the second CubeSat designed and developed by students from Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi with the support of the Yahsat Satellite Communications Company, “Yahsat” and Northrop Grumman International.
