Saudi Space Agency Concludes Participation in World Space Week 2025
The Saudi Space Agency (SSA) concluded its participation in World Space Week 2025, designated by the United Nations to be held annually from October 4 to 10, through a series of awareness and interactive activities targeting students, researchers, specialists, and the general public.
During the week, the SSA launched a digital awareness campaign and scientific content through its website and official accounts, offering visual and written materials to promote scientific knowledge about space and its sciences. The initiative aimed to raise awareness of the importance of space exploration for the benefit of humanity, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and with the participation of more than 20 Saudi universities across the Kingdom.
The SSA organized workshops and field visits for university students to its Concurrent Design Facility (CDF), allowing them to learn about the mechanisms of space mission design. It also held awareness lectures delivered by a number of its staff and experts, focusing on concepts and technologies related to space exploration.
At the beginning of the week, the SSA launched the Knowledge Space portal on its website, offering a variety of Arabic content, including videos, booklets, and interactive educational guides, to promote scientific awareness and disseminate knowledge about space sciences across all segments of society.
Moreover, Saudi astronauts presented a series of video messages for school and university students, sharing insights about space, their experiences aboard the International Space Station, and the role of youth in shaping the future of space exploration.
The week’s events saw wide engagement across schools, universities, and digital awareness platforms, featuring activities, competitions, and simple scientific experiments introducing students to space concepts and life in space, and the campaign received broad media coverage across multiple platforms.
The agency’s participation in World Space Week 2025 comes as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance the Kingdom’s presence in space science and technology awareness and education, and to reaffirm its leading role in empowering and inspiring the new generation to contribute to the future of space and its technologies. This initiative aligns with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to build a knowledge-based economy and promote sustainable, innovation-driven development.
