Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, reviewed the latest developments on the MBZ-SAT, the most advanced satellite in the region, named after the UAE President. The MBZ-SAT, developed by an Emirati team, is scheduled for launch no earlier than October 2024 on a SpaceX rocket.

During his meeting with the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre’s (MBRSC) work team, it was confirmed that final launch preparations would commence after successful environmental testing. "The UAE has established itself as a major global player in the field of space science and technology. This achievement has been driven by an ambitious vision aimed at strengthening the UAE's standing among the leading countries in space exploration and the growing capabilities of Emirati talent," Sheikh Mohammed said.

Emirati astronauts Nora Al Matrooshi and Mohammad Al Mulla, who completed a two-year training programme at NASA, briefed Sheikh Mohammed on the latest developments in the UAE Astronaut Programme. "These advancements are crucial for developing solutions that improve the quality of human life and help overcome various challenges," Sheikh Mohammed added. Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Board of Directors MBRSC, expressed pride in working on the most advanced satellite in the Arab world, stating, "We have great ambitions for our country in the future of space exploration, and we pledge to continue achieving milestones that contribute to its global leadership in this field.” Sheikh Mohammed was accompanied by Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group.
