[3] MBRSC contributes towards the development of various sectors within the United Arab Emirates and across the globe, using data from UAE satellites, and various applications related to space science.

The center promotes space science and scientific research in the UAE and the Middle East,[4] while also supporting various organisations in the management of natural disasters, rescue missions, environmental monitoring and land planning with its satellites, such as Dubai-Sat-1 and Dubai-Sat-2.

[3][4] Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, was appointed as chairman and general supervisor of the strategic plans and projects of MBRSC in June 2015.

As part of the law, EIAST will implement and follow up the policies, plans and decisions set by the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center.

[11] On 29 October 2018, MBRSC's most advanced satellite, KhalifaSat, was launched aboard a H-II A rocket from Tanegashima Space Center.

[16] For the Nayif-1 project, MBRSC established a partnership with the American University of Sharjah (AUS) in order to provide the engineering students with hands-on experience in satellite manufacturing, testing and operations.

The satellite will re-broadcast text messages to the world and it will collect data to help academic institutions in conducting different types of research.

[14] The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center (MBRSC) in Dubai is currently developing the MBZ-SAT, which is expected to be launched in October 2024.

The project is expected to strengthen the UAE's partnerships in the space industry, integrating efforts between the public and private sectors.

MBZ-SAT will address the growing commercial demand for high-resolution satellite images that can capture details within an area of less than one square meter.

The imagery from MB Z-SAT is anticipated to support various applications, including mapping and analysis, environmental monitoring, navigation, infrastructure management, and disaster relief efforts.

[21] The launch window for the Hope Probe fell in July 2020, marking the point when Earth and Mars were aligned in their orbits around the Sun and were closest to one another.

The spacecraft will also be equipped with star tracker sensors that will help determine its position in space by studying the constellations in relation to the Sun.

Rashid is the world's most compact rover designed and manufactured by MBRSC, with a name that embodies UAE's passion and ambitions to take on and overcome challenges.

MBRSC is headed by Director General Salem Humaid AlMarri, who is responsible for all administrative and space project-related policies.

[33] It will be an eight-day stay on the International Space Station (ISS), where AlMansoori will carry out several scientific experiments before his return on 3 October 2019.

Hazzaa AlMansoori will receive a special menu with traditional Emirati dishes that would be prepared by Space Food Laboratory company.

[35] In September 2019, it was reported that the Emirati astronaut will carry 30 Al Ghaf tree seeds, along with the UAE flag on his space mission.

Dr. Sultan AlNeyadi is the UAE Minister of Youth, astronaut and the first Arab to serve on the International Space Station (ISS) for a 6-month mission, as part of Expedition 69.

This is a collaboration between Dauria Aerospace (US/Russia), MBRSC (UAE), Elecnor Deimos (Spain) and Beijing Space Eye Innovation Technology (China).

[42] The HAPS system has the ability to fly in the stratosphere at an altitude of 65,600 feet (20 km) above air traffic making it easier for different applications to work effectively.

[43] At the February 2017 World Government Summit, the United Arab Emirates announced a plan to establish a settlement on Mars by 2117, led by the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center.

The magazine is published in both Arabic and English to cater for the cosmopolitan population in the UAE, and has featured a number of notable personalities from the global space industry, including Farouk El-Baz, Carolyn Porco, Steven Squyres, Frank Drake, Noureddine Melikechi and NASA astronaut Terry Virts.
