| Description |
“Rawdat Scoop” – enables low-power IoT connectivity for environmental projects in remote areas. SARI-1 & SARI-2 come from the Saudi Space Agency’s Sari competition, a national initiative for undergraduate teams to design, build, and operate their own satellite. The program was launched to encourage STEM education and inspire future generations in the space sector. The selected satellites will be the result of months of engineering and testing by a university student team. The expected payloads include, space-based imaging, real-time telemetry, IoT data experiments, and educational research modules. The Saudi Space Agency will support the teams throughout development via mentoring, technical workshops and lab facilities This mission showcases how PocketQubes serve as a powerful leaning platform, enabling students to gain invaluable hands on experience with a fully operational satellite |
| Notes |
Affiliation may be wrongly matched. Students were from those universities but satellites could be by the Saudi Space Agency. |
