The UAE and China are looking to set up a space technology centre in Abu Dhabi to help Emirati students build skills in satellite and space telescope development.
A letter of intent, which is not yet legally binding, was signed on March 7 in Abu Dhabi between the National Space Science and Technology Centre at the UAE University, the Laboratory for Space Research at the Hong Kong University and Origin Space, a private Chinese company.
It is hoped that once plans are approved by authorities, the three parties would then sign an agreement that would signal the start of construction.
