The NSSA has invited individuals aged 18 to 35 who are interested in the space industry to register for the workshop. The discussions' outcomes will be used to shape the future of the Middle Eastern space industry, with reports and recommendations being presented at high-level conferences. The article also highlights recent projects by NSSA, including initiatives related to COP26 commitments, using satellite imagery for various purposes, and the development of Bahrain's first home-built satellite called Al Munther, set to launch in December.
