Space42

Recognizing the collective effort behind Expo 2025, participating companies came together at a special event hosted in appreciation of their contribution. In the presence of HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, and His Excellency Shihab AlFaheem, UAE Ambassador to Japan.   Sulaiman Al Ali, Chief Commercial Officer - Business of Space42, joined the gathering as part of a wider group of leaders who played a critical role in shaping the UAE's presence on the global stage.   As we continue our momentum behind the UAE's national strategy, partnerships and international presence remain central to our strategy to position the country as a global leader in the #SpaceTech industry. #Space42 #EXPO2025

In a rescue operation across mountainous terrain, a search team relies on Very High Frequency (VHF) radios to stay in contact. As the terrain rises, so does the risk of losing signal. Every second the connection drops is a second lost to the mission. This is where T-TAC comes in. Space42's Thuraya Tactical Radio Extender allows VHF and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio users to communicate beyond line of sight over satellite, keeping teams connected across rescue missions, disaster zones, and conflict areas. Lightweight, rapidly deployable, and available across ManPack, Vehicular, Maritime, and Aeronautical variants, T-TAC is built to keep communications running when the environment makes it hardest.

Congratulations to Christos Kolimenakis on his appointment as CEO of ICEYE UAE. His arrival marks a new chapter in a partnership that has already delivered real sovereign capability for the nation. Together we brought the Foresight Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) constellation into service and established in-country satellite assembly, integration, and testing, with technology transfer at its core. Foresight sees day or night, through cloud and smoke, and its dual-use design serves national security priorities alongside civilian ones, from disaster response to critical-infrastructure monitoring. That pairing of ICEYE's radar intelligence with Space42's local leadership is how the most demanding programs get built. Foresight is also where a larger ambition begins. As we densify the constellation for faster revisit and richer sensing, the capability we have proven at home becomes capability we can take to the world, anchored in the Emirates and built to reach well beyond. Christos joins as that work enters its most exciting phase. Welcome, Christos.

Space42 and Leonardo DRS have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to advance next-generation national security mission systems.   The agreement establishes a framework pairing Leonardo DRS's rugged C5ISR technologies with Space42's sovereign satellite infrastructure and #AI-enabled communications, extending protected connectivity well beyond terrestrial networks.   Delivering multi-path connectivity across the region is central to Space42's work, supporting informed decision-making and strengthening resilience across the UAE's national security ecosystem.   Read the full announcement at the link below: https://lnkd.in/dad6-CFr #Space42 #SATCOM #SpaceTech

Critical infrastructure needs to be engineered long before the arrival of a crisis. Stress-tests, learning-based updates, and practiced operational efficiency are key in developing national resilience.   Through his article in The Orbit, Ali Al Hashemi, CEO of Space Services at Space42 explores how the role of satellite connectivity has shifted from a supporting technology to a core pillar of national strategy. It is now seen as essential to successful international coordination, financial systems operation, and emergency response. From spearheading regional satcom market growth, to the rise of Direct-to-Device connectivity, Ali maps the forces reshaping how governments and enterprises incorporate space infrastructure into operations.   Read the full article in The Orbit, Vol. 2: https://lnkd.in/dqKNiEbJ #Space42 #TheOrbit #SatelliteConnectivity

In an interview with Khaleej Times, Ali Al Hashemi, Chief Executive Officer of Space Services at Space42, looks at where the UAE's space sector goes next, and why the answer lies in building a globally competitive commercial ecosystem. He shares his perspective on the economics behind satellite constellations, what vertical integration really takes, and how Space42 is building the capabilities to compete on a global stage.

Space42 and Autonomous A2Z have signed a USD 7 million commercial agreement to deploy Level-4 autonomous mobility solutions in the UAE.   The direct supply contract marks the first step within the companies' wider partnership, bringing A2Z's autonomous driving technology to Abu Dhabi as part of Space42's portfolio of mobility solutions. Pilot Robo-Shuttle services using A2Z's ROii will begin operational testing in the country, followed by an expected expansion into Demand-Responsive Transport and tourism shuttle operations.    Autonomous mobility is a sectorial priority at Space42, with the company working toward safe and reliable driverless vehicle operations at scale. This focus further supports the UAE's National Smart Mobility Strategy and ambitions to make driverless transport part of everyday life.   Read the full announcement at the link below: https://lnkd.in/dJMgnR3x Hasan AlHosani Jihyeong Han #Space42 #AutonomousMobility
