The UAE’s participation in the new lunar economy will help to create jobs and bring skilled workers to the country, an Emirati space official has said.

An economy focused on the Moon has grown over the past few years, as governments and private companies look to use and exchange lunar resources.

It is estimated that the value of the lunar market could pass $170 billion by 2040, with groups taking people and resources between the Moon and Earth, and using lunar data on our planet.
