Saudi Students' Experiments Launched to International Space Station
Ten experiments designed by students from Saudi Arabia and across the Arab world were included in the launch, a landmark event that reflects the Kingdom's push to advance scientific innovation.
The launch was part of an international mission that lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, United States.
The "Space Madak" competition was set up to support and encourage those who are fascinated by space science and technology and are eager to learn how to turn their ideas into practical scientific applications in the microgravity environment aboard the ISS.
More than 80,000 students participated from across the Arab world.
