He pointed to the scientific and research role of the Regional Center, especially the launching of academic programs in the disciplines of space science and its various applications, space meteorology, space communications, weather and atmospheric sciences, in addition to holding short, medium and long-term training courses in these disciplines. A training center for Arab countries in the field of space during the meeting of the Arab Space Group held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and the language of instruction will be in Arabic.


Dr. Mohammed Al Ahbabi, Director General of the Emirates Space Agency, delivered a speech in which he explained the strength of the relationship between the UAE Agency and the Regional Center through the agreement to join the UAE as a member of the Regional Center, pointing out the UAE's quest to be a regional center in the projects of space exploration, education and human capacity development in this field.

The Romanian astronaut Dr. Domiter Brunario spoke about his 1981 space flight aboard the Salute 6 space station, outlining dozens of scientific experiments he conducted during the six-day voyage, expressing his admiration for the establishment of the Regional Center for Space Teaching in Jordan. This feat.

All the doubters of the Arab space agency are proven wrong. Saying we will have to hire NASA and ESA engineers.

Lack of rocket programs so no capability to launch sats or humans into space

Who makes their own rockets today? Civilian rockets are much cheaper to use on most satellites

Then how will you progress if you remain dependent on western rockets to launch, you called this the Arab space agency referring to 22 states with over 350 million people. That's not a tiny group for it to be limited to dependency on the west.

Satellites are another thing, they are not missile technology but systems with many components. You need to separate all of this, just because they all happen to be space technology doesn't mean they're the same thing.

Yes, I know this of course but there are Russian and Chinese rockets that will always be cheaper, and available to use that aren't Western of course. Israel will make it hard for Arab states to develop rocket technology in the long run though.

I know what satellites are m8. That was a typo on my part.

Read about Saudi oil history and Khalid Al falih Arab engineers must work in a special organisations like nasa or ESA OR use their engineers for their experiences
Many people can study and learn theories but without experiences they are like a phone without charge

They will get sanctioned/bombed if they do a rocket program. So the terrorist shithole Israel must be dismantled and handed back to the Palestinians before you can move forward with plans like these.

Israel's presence is stunting the development and growth of all other nations in the region.

aware of that

So when the regimes collapse, and the big war occurs, we need to destroy that terrorist entity and establish the Caliphate across the ME. It's perfectly feasible.

I personally can't wait.

Do you see that happening, a collapse/crisis in Israel?

Of course I do but not in the current conditions. The regimes need to collapse(they already are 95% there anyways) . The ME is not going to be safe during this revamping process and anyone scared should seek safety or stay far away. The Mujahideen on other hand made a pact with God and will sacrifice everything they have to establish the Caliphate for the sake of the Lord and they aren't scared. Very simply there has to be security and safety for the people of the region and it will take hard work/sacrifice but will pay off.

Sounds risky and very much an opening for the wrong mujahideen like ISIS.

Don't worry, the kind I'm talking about is being prepared for since 2016 and at God's orders. You'll understand in future.
