A data-rich, first-of-its-kind guide to one of the world's fastest-rising space ecosystems. Space Industry in the UAE 1.0 maps 247 organizations across government, industry, academia, and investment, pairing those insights with timelines, expert essays, and interviews with leaders shaping the region's orbital future. From the Hope Mars Mission to next-gen Earth observation (EO) and SAR constellations, the book shows how the UAE is turning flagship missions into a durable, commercially driven space economy.
Readers will find clear visuals and practical analysis: the distribution of UAE and international players; where activity clusters across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and beyond; and how AI-powered geospatial platforms convert satellite data into decision-ready intelligence for public and private sector use. It also traces milestones from Thuraya-1 to MBZ-SAT and examines the National Space Policy, the AED 3B National Space Fund, and other public-private mechanisms that accelerate growth. Expert perspectives throughout provide context, signal trends, and highlight opportunities across EO, communications, national security, climate resilience, and more.
