SPACE Academy

To enhance Azerbaijan’s reputation in the space industry, a SPACE Academy has been established under the Space Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The academy aims to nurture a new generation of space professionals, organize international competitions based on a national model, and promote education and awareness in space science. By supporting scientific research, developing human resources, and ensuring the financing of space awareness projects through commercial activities, the academy will contribute to the growth of the national space ecosystem. Additionally, it seeks to promote youth engagement and strengthen Azerbaijan’s global standing.

Founded in 2006, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) serves as the incubator for the UAE’s National Space Program. In addition to developing Earth observation satellites, the center manages satellites like DubaiSat-1, DubaiSat-2, and KhalifaSat. The "Emirates Mars" mission, launched in 2021, collected data on the Martian atmosphere, while the "Rashid Rover" landed on the Moon's surface in 2022. Since 2017, through the UAE Astronaut Program, MBRSC has been investing in human capital by offering research opportunities in space and technical fields to undergraduate students. As part of a collaboration with Azercosmos, students from Azerbaijani universities can participate in exchange internships in the UAE.
