Established in 2006, the Mohammad Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) has been the driving force behind the UAE National Space Programme, developing capabilities and expanding knowledge in the field of space. The Centre is home to the UAE Astronaut Programme, which prepares Emirati astronauts for scientific missions. From the first batch of the programme Hazzaa AlMansoori spent 8 days on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2019 while Sultan AlNeyadi spent 6 months onboard the ISS in 2023. Nora AlMatrooshi and Mohammad Al Mulla, selected in the second batch, are currently undergoing training in the USA. MBRSC further has a thriving satellite programme with advanced Earth observation satellites like KhalifaSat (2018) and MBZ-SAT, which when launched in 2024 will be one of the world’s most high-accuracy, high-resolution imaging satellites. Moreover, the Centre is actively involved in ambitious projects like "Mars 2117," aiming to establish a human settlement on Mars within a century.
