It was a long journey of blueprints and charts, international visits to worldwide planetarium, exhibition centers, and long discussions with engineers and scientists that the Academy went through to come live on May 07, 2015.

It was a vision coming true, an inspiration to revive the Islamic sciences in the United Arab Emirates in general, and in the Emirate of Sharjah in particular. It was a vocational vision to have a scientific jewel for generations to come to enlish in the young Emirati mind the love of science and discovery. It was a road full of challenges and excitement in which His Highness was fully involved in every step. His deep wisdom and directives made it possible to have today a world-class scientific institution that has no equivalent in the world. With its planetarium, space exhibitions, research laboratories, optical and radio observatories, and its academia, the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences, and technology is now in the front seat of space sciences research, nationally and internationally.
