KSF Space Foundation announced that the state of Kuwait will be the first in GCC and North Africa to send
CubeSat to near space to measure climate change & Ultra violet radiation in partnership with KSF Space next
mission which is scheduled in June 2021.
(KCST) Kuwait College of Science & Technology in Kuwait, will be the leading across all universities in GCC
& NA region to approach such experiment. The mission will be unique and distinguished due to the challenge and
the expected results upon the mission completion.
This initiative, in which students of the Kuwait College of Science and Technology are participating,
aims to transfer the basic and necessary skills in how to manufacture miniature satellites, inspire enthusiasm,
enhance international understanding and cooperation, enhance an interactive global network of students,
teachers and alumni, and encourage the innovative scientific development of space for peaceful purposes to
improve life. on the earth.
KSF Space plays an inspirational role in education. Research on space topics often spark under graduate and post graduate students' curiosity and imagination and encourage youth of both genders to become increasingly involved in the sciences.
KSF Space develops the future leaders of the world space community by providing interdisciplinary educational research guideline to universities & academics, students and space professionals in an international, intercultural environment.
KSF Space also serves as a neutral international forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas on challenging issues related to space and space applications.
KSF Space programs impart critical skills essential to future space initiatives in the public and private sectors, following by:
The space education & research is designed to help colleges & universities who want to inspire and engage their students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
Our research topics can be covering different life sectors as part of our strategy towards developing space missions with universities, including:
Through close working relationships with different aerospace organizations, KSF Space lets you team up with astronauts, rocket scientists and leading business professionals at the highest level.
KSF Space works to promote international cooperation in the peaceful use and exploration of space, and in the utilization of space science and technology for sustainable economic and social development. Space technologies have an impact on almost all aspects of development.
Example of space mission we developed with universities cross the world: “Climate Change & Ozone Detection”
Human actions have had an indisputable impact on the Earth's natural environment. Human activities have contributed to deforestation, desertification, soil degradation, depletion of the ozone layer and climate change.
Space-based technologies, such as remotely sensed data, have enhanced scientific understanding of water cycles, air quality, forests and other aspects of the natural environment. These surveying and monitoring tools provide valuable information on the state of ecosystems, which offers objective support for positive environmental action, including conservation and sustainable resource management.
The KSF Space Strato Satellite CubeSat Scientific experiment includes:
Research focusing on stratospheric studies on Ozone Layer and beyond to conduct scientific experiments to estimate seriousness of Global Warming and Climate Change
Watch last space mission using IoT for Ozone detection. Launch from Mexico 2018.
