The successful launch of MBZ-SAT, the most ad- vanced satellite in the re- gion, developed by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) marks a defining moment for the UAE's burgeoning space programme. This milestone is a testament to the nation's am- bitions in space exploration and a shining example of the "Make It In The Emirates" initiative champi- oned by the UAE government.

As a leading UAE-based pre- cision engineering firm, Falcon Group was one of the local compa- nies that played a pivotal role in the MBZ-SAT project, supplying preci- sion machined Space Worthy Parts used in the satellite. In close collab- oration with Falcon and other lo- cal entities, MBRSC demonstrated how homegrown companies con- tribute to the success of such am- bitious projects of international standards. This partnership under- scores the UAE's commitment to fostering innovation, self-reliance, and excellence within the country.
