QMR-KWT 2

QMR-KWT-2 is a 1U cubesat with Earth imaging capabilities (low-resolution camera) and FM transponder (amateur radio VHF to UHF linear transponder). It is expected to be launched in December 2025 on Soyuz-2.1b rocket from Vostochny spaceport in Russia's Far East.

 

QMR-KWT-2 is the successor of QMR-KWT which means "Moon of Kuwait", translated from Arabic which was launched in summer of 2021 and re-entered Earth’s atmosphere in fall of 2024. QMR-KWT-2 will continue the same educational objective of giving students the opportunity to learn about satellite technology.

FROM DESERTS TO ICE
A UAE–CHILE ANALOGUE SCIENCE PROGRAM

MAP² Explorers is a polar–desert analogue science program linking UAE desert environments with Chile’s polar regions.


The program uses extreme Earth environments as platforms to explore climate systems, environmental change, and planetary-analogue science relevant to future space missions.

​

Designed for high-school and undergraduate students, MAP² brings learners into real field science, data collection, and comparative environmental research.

Code In Space

For the first time, students from around the world can send and execute their own code in space (Low Earth Orbit). Students may submit proposals, and the selected submissions will be uploaded to a nanosatellite orbiting the Earth. The code will be executed by the satellite’s onboard computer and will be tested under real space environment conditions. The code executions test results will be transmitted back to Earth via a satellite ground station.

Experiment in Space

In collaboration with leading research institutions, this project provides a platform for conducting experiments in microgravity. The experiments focus on biological and physical sciences, exploring how different materials and organisms behave in zero gravity . Our first experiment in space  E.coli Consuming COâ‚‚ to Combat Climate Change
