Egypt-Saudi space project moves forward
The article pertains to the Egypt-Saudi Arabia initiative to design and build the first joint satellite between the two countries. Following the approval of the project by the Saudi Cabinet in June 2026, Egypt and Saudi Arabia held meetings to establish the implementation plans, and they also launched a memorandum of understanding to enhance cooperation in satellite technology. The goal is to localize space technologies and develop national capabilities. This project is considered an important step toward expanding Arab collaboration in the space industry, as well as advancing domestic manufacturing and operational capacities, thereby contributing to development and scientific research. It also aligns with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 to promote technology, indigenous future industries, and strengthen Egypt's capabilities in satellite design.
