After the longest space mission in Arab history, we are facing an even greater challenge. It is a project through which the UAE develops the “Emirates Gateway” pressure equalization unit on board the first space station around the moon, and prepares to send an Emirati astronaut to the moon.. A project that charts the future of missions. Human space..

The UAE is the fifth partner in the Lunar Space Station, alongside the United States, Japan, Canada and the European Union. The UAE will develop a complete unit within the station weighing 10 tons, in addition to establishing a space operations center in the country for the new station and a global center for training astronauts also on the territory of the country.


*** Simply participating in this giant project will give The UAE and the Arabs a momentum and open the door for future generations to enter the first world, without forgetting that we will have a huge reserve of data, which will actually be a game changer.

The Apollo project was a source of inspiration for millions from many generations to join the fields of formal sciences, such as mathematics, natural sciences, physics, biology, chemistry, and the consolidation of the astronaut profession to become a dream that millions of young people strive to achieve. Not to mention that the project itself is a cornerstone of the scientific and technological progress that humanity has reached in our current era to meet the challenges. Expected things before, during and after reaching the moon, such as digital computers, keyboards, programming, smart phones, satellite television transmissions, polyurethane foam (memory foam), computer mouse, wireless speakers, water sterilizer, LED lights, oh man, even the laptop and Artificial limbs were all innovations that emerged from the Apollo program

Certainly, the Artemis program will have similar, if not greater, positive side effects, and we will have a head start by acquiring all the data, research, and studies, and their results and impacts, without neglecting what this means for our countries’ space industry sector in terms of sustainability, growth, and development.

Al Yah Satellite Communications Company PJSC (Yahsat), the leading satellite solutions provider in the UAE, today announced that it has contracted with Airbus Defense and Space, a leading satellite manufacturer, for its new geostationary communications satellites. , Al Yah 4 (“AY4”) and Al Yah 5 (“AY5”).



This important step follows the signing of an authorization to proceed with Airbus in the second quarter of 2023 to commence initial activities in relation to the AY4 and AY5 satellite programme.



Airbus will design and build the AY4 and AY5 satellites based on the Eurostar Neo platform, each with flexible payloads and leveraging the strong heritage of the Eurostar family. Flexible multi-domain payloads can be completely reconfigured while in orbit, and are able to adjust coverage area, power and frequency “on the fly” to meet evolving mission scenarios.

Both the AY4 and AY5 satellites will provide secure government communications across a wide geographic area in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia. The new advanced satellites will replace Al Yah 1 and Yah 2, which were launched in 2011 and 2012, respectively, and are based on an earlier version of the Eurostar platform made by Airbus.

Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing company TSMC and Korean Samsung have discussed establishing huge industrial complexes in the UAE with a value that may exceed $100 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal.



Chip-making titans Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and Samsung Electronics Co. are considering building major factories in the United Arab Emirates to help fill future demand for artificial-intelligence chips, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday

Representatives of TSMC and Samsung have both visited the UAE recently to discuss building advanced manufacturing facilities in the coming years.

According to the Journal, plans for the projects are in the early stages and face significant hurdles. The Journal said the combined cost of the factories could top $100 billion.

Neither TSMC nor Samsung immediately responded Sunday when asked to comment on the Journal report.

The projects would be funded by the UAE and its Abu Dhabi-based sovereign investment fund Mubadala, the Journal reported, as part of an effort to develop a domestic tech industry.

More broadly, the intent of the chip plants would be to increase global production and help bring down prices for the semiconductors that power AI servers..
