SAASST Celebration of UAE National Day 2021

The Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology (SAASST) staff celebrated on Nov. 24-25, 2021, the UAE National Day. It was a very emotional moment for everyone to be part of these festivities. The whole world is witnessing that the United Arab Emirates is now a space power. With the Mars Hope Mission, the future Rashad lunar rover of 2024, the Venus and asteroids space mission of 2028, the UAE is a member of the space

exploration elite countries of the USA, Russia, Europe, China, India, and Japan. These accomplishments will be written in gold in the books of history

because no other Muslim country has achieved what the UAE has achieved in less than a decade. Moreover, these accomplishments came in time with the 50th golden jubilee of the creation of the UAE in 1971.

 

The Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and Technology is proud to make the UAE a space exploration hub with its different units such as the planetarium and its space exhibitions, academic department, research laboratories, and optical and radio astronomical observatories.
