NSSA organizes virtual lecture on KiboCUBE

The National Space Science Agency (NSSA) will organize a virtual introductory lecture for higher education institutions in Bahrain on KiboCUBE, the most prominent initiatives of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) in cooperation with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The initiative aims to provide an opportunity for all countries to benefit from space science and technology, by providing support for educational and research institutions to design and build CubeSats, and then arrange their launch through The Japanese Experiment Module (Kibō) on the International Space Station (ISS). The Secretary General of the Higher Education Council and Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Higher Education Council Dr. Shaikha Rana bint Isa bin Daij Al Khalifa, expressed her appreciation to NSSA for their cooperation with the council and keenness to inform higher education institutions of these important initiatives that would stimulate researchers and students of higher education institutions and provide them with opportunities to engage in all fields that develop their skills and qualify them to keep pace with future challenges, thus contributing to the realization of Bahrain's Economic Vision 2030.
