The Representative of His Majesty the King for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs was instrumental in ensuring the satellite’s successful launch. His follow-up and commitment to the project helped make Bahrain’s first satellite a reality.

The Chairman of the Shura Council also noted that March 15th is a national day to celebrate Bahrain’s space science achievements. He lauded the Bahrain Space Team for their dedication and loyalty to the Kingdom. Their hard work has elevated Bahrain’s standing regionally and internationally.

Furthermore, Al-Saleh congratulated the Bahraini people for this remarkable achievement. He explained that the success of the “Al-Mundhir” satellite is a testament to Bahrain’s growing capabilities in space science.

In conclusion, Al-Saleh commended the National Space Science Agency for its essential role in developing ambitious plans. Their ongoing efforts will ensure Bahrain’s prosperity and its place among the world’s leading nations in space sciences.
