Developing SAR satellite seeking private enterprise assistance

According to media reports, the six -year space plan proposed by the UAE government is expected to launch the first satellite and explore Venus within three years. Earlier, the UAE transmitting detectors to Mars orbit is also part of this plan. The special funds established also encouraged to build a global partnership on the Arab Emirates Space Development Plan.

Sarah Al Amiri, chairman of the UAE Aerospace Bureau, said in a government statement: "SAR technology spans the traditional imaging satellite and uses X -band radar technology to provide more powerful imaging. More strong, this is a new generation system type that technology can achieve at present. "

The UAE media office said: "This project will help the UAE formulate solutions to respond to climate change, environmental sustainability, and strengthening disaster management. Among them, the application will include oil leak detection, ship monitoring, and search and rescue."

The UAE will build satellites through the cooperation between public and private sectors and international companies, and plans to seek bidding for at least some aspects of the project. In the above -mentioned government statement, it also mentioned that the country's Aerospace Administration will solicit suggestions on satellite component development, launch, operation and commercialization planning.

The most ambitious space plan in the Middle East

Prior to this, in the process of working hard to achieve economic diversification, the UAE government has always emphasized that space is a field of growth in the country. The first Mars detector in the UAE and Arab countries.

This task was launched in 2014. In the same year, the government spent 5.4 billion US dollars (about 36.4 billion yuan) to set up the Aerospace Bureau. In 2017, the UAE proposed a century -old Mars strategy, and plans to establish a city suitable for human living in Mars in 2117 to achieve immigration to Mars. In July 2020, the "Hope" Mars probe was launched and entered the scientific track in March 2021, and then began the two -year data collection work. And on July 1st this year, the UAE Aerospace Administration announced that the "Hope" Mars probe returned a new batch of scientific data, which involves the latest observation data of Mars' aurora, high -energy particles, galaxy cosmic rays, and including including the galaxy cosmic rays, and include including The scientific observation results of Mars high -altitude dust and cloud movement.

In addition, the UAE also has a small -scale astronaut. In September 2019, the UAE's first astronaut, Haza Manouri, took the Russian "Alliance" manned spacecraft to enter the International Space Station, becoming the first Arab astronaut to visit the International Space Station.

In April of this year, the UAE Mohammed Ben Bin Rahd Aerospace Center (MBRSC) signed an agreement with the US Chuangchuang Commercial Space Enterprise Axiom (Axiom Space), and in 2023 Send an UAE professional astronaut to the International Space Station. The UAE astronauts will be stationed in the space station for about 6 months. This will be the first time that the UAE astronauts have performed long -term tasks at the International Space Station and are the first tasks of Arab countries. At the same time, the signing of this agreement marks that the first task of commercial aerospace is possible.

In addition, in order to achieve the moon landing goal, the UAE also plans to launch a small moon car called "Rashid" in 2024. If the plan is successful, the UAE will become the first and the fifth successful moon landing in the world in the world. nation.
