The Saudi Space Agency (SSA) has announced, in partnership with Aramco Digital, the launch of the second edition of the 'SARI 2' initiative.

This program extends ongoing efforts to empower national talent and foster innovation within the space sector.

The primary goal is to enable undergraduate students from universities across the Kingdom to develop and launch small satellites.

The 'SARI 2' initiative encompasses several strategic objectives.

These include supporting scientific research and experiments, providing hands-on opportunities in satellite development and industrial space communication solutions.

It also aims to foster an innovative environment among universities and enhance students’ technical and engineering skills in space-related disciplines and technologies.

Participants will have the opportunity to form student teams focused on advanced projects, including the design of satellites for various technology sectors.

The SSA, alongside Aramco Digital, offers an integrated educational ecosystem that supports these participants through expert mentorship, intensive training programs, and workshops that enhance scientific and engineering skills.

Technical resources are also provided to ensure high-quality project execution.

The Saudi Space Agency invites students interested in applying through its official website: https://ssa.gov.sa/Sari2/.

The submissions will be evaluated by a specialized committee to select the best entries.
