Madarik program concluded; trained 1,000 participants with the aim of furthering Saudi Arabias space sector growth

The Madarik initiative, which trained 1,000 participants with the goal of advancing Saudi Arabia's space industry growth, has come to an end by the Communications, Space and Technology Commission. 

According to a Monday article from the Saudi Press Agency, participants in three tracks—space business, space software and data, and space engineering—received extensive training. 

Al-Yamama University in Riyadh served as an educational partner for the three-month program, which was organized in collaboration with the International Space University in France, the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona, and BAE Systems Saudi Development and Training.

According to the commission, participants in the courses, which were held in Riyadh and Jeddah, were able to hone their abilities and expand their knowledge in certain areas of space science. 

The program's objectives were to prepare participants to stay up to date with developments in the Saudi space industry and support a sustainable future. 

Tracks one and two concentrated on data and software for satellite applications, track three on spacecraft design, maintenance, and control, and track four on space economics and project success.
