His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, announced the launch of a historic project after establishing the first body for space cooperation on Tuesday.
Addressing the Global Space Congress in Abu Dhabi, a charter was signed establishing the first space cooperation body in the Arab world, and with it, the first project was launched too - a satellite made by Arab scientists in the UAE.
