UAE astronaut Sultan AlNeyadi’s ‘A Call From Space’ makes international debut

The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center (MBRSC) announced the launch of the recent edition of 'A Call From Space,' this time not with the UAE, but with Mauritius.

The fourth instalment of the live call series is scheduled to take place in Mauritius on May 11 at 3pm UAE time.

In a recent agreement with the island nation, aiming to supporting their space sector, the MBRSC on Wednesday announced the international debut of “A Call From Space," a live call series hosted by Emirati astronaut Sultan AlNeyadi.

As part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), MBRSC will cooperate in sending Mauritian payloads as part of the PHI-1 mission as well as conduct training for engineers.

The MBRSC's PHI-1 is designed to provide a modular satellite platform that promotes innovation in the space technology sector and encourages collaboration among government entities, universities, and other organisations.

Demonstrating the significance of global partnership and exchange of expertise in the field of space, the event serves as a follow-up to the recent MoU signed among MBRSC, Space Mauritius, and the Ministry of Information Technology, Communications, and Innovation.

The agreement outlines joint efforts to assist the Mauritian space industry in enhancing their human resources and providing technical support.
