The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) hosted Azerbaijani students for a week-long immersive learning experience at the Centre’s headquarters, as part of an international collaboration between MBRSC and the Space Academy of Azercosmos, with support from the Innovation and Digital Development Agency of Azerbaijan.
During the week-long programme, participants engaged in practical learning sessions, tackled technical challenges, and completed research assignments under the guidance of MBRSC experts. The students explored a wide range of subjects, including space and aerospace analog systems, information security, computer and electronic engineering, and astronaut training.
They also gained insights into key MBRSC projects, such as the Emirates Lunar Mission and Emirates Mars Mission, and explored advanced topics like Python software for satellite observation, artificial intelligence, and remote sensing applications. A highlight of the programme was a master class led by Nora AlMatrooshi, the first Emirati female astronaut.
The initiative is part of MBRSC’s broader outreach efforts to foster international collaboration and promote greater involvement in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. Through these programmes, MBRSC aims to inspire the next generation of space scientists and engineers, contributing to the global growth of scientific and technological expertise. The week-long programme concluded with a visit to the Museum of the Future, offering the students a glimpse into how technological innovation can shape the future of humanity.
Saud Karmustaji, Director of the Strategic Communication Department, MBRSC, said:
“Our collaboration with Azercosmos and the participation of these students reflect MBRSC’s commitment to fostering international partnerships that elevate space science and technology on a global scale. By hosting this immersive programme, we not only provided a platform for hands-on learning but also inspired the next generation of leaders who will drive future space exploration. We remain dedicated to creating opportunities for knowledge exchange and encouraging the pursuit of STEM subjects to build a more innovative and sustainable future.”
