MBRSC releases first images from MBZ-SAT, Etihad-SAT

The milestone marks a new phase in the UAE's satellite imaging capabilities and strengthens its capacity to provide world-class Earth observation data for civil, environmental, maritime and infrastructure applications.

World Space Week, declared by the United Nations General Assembly, celebrates the contribution of space science and technology to human progress.

MBZ-SAT and Etihad-SAT represent distinct yet complementary technologies that work together to provide a comprehensive view of Earth. Named in honour of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, MBZ-SAT, launched in January 2025, is the region's most advanced satellite using optical imaging, while Etihad-SAT, launched in March 2025, is MBRSC's first Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite capable of capturing data in all weather and lighting conditions.
