Bahrain marked a historic milestone in its space ambitions today as the locally developed satellite, ‘Al Munther’, also known as the ‘Made in Bahrain’ satellite, successfully lifted off aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The launch took place at 9:39 AM Bahrain time from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA.
A Leap Forward for Bahrain’s Space Sector
The mission, shared with approximately 40 other payloads from international entities, will unfold in three key stages: the rocket’s takeoff, the deployment of its payloads, and the final positioning of Al Munther into a sun-synchronous orbit 550 km above sea level. Once in orbit, the satellite will initiate data collection and space exploration activities, marking a significant step in Bahrain’s space endeavors.

Harnessing AI for Advanced Research
Equipped with cutting-edge technology, Al Munther is set to enhance environmental monitoring, disaster management, and high-precision research capabilities. The satellite integrates artificial intelligence (AI) for advanced data analysis and imaging, reinforcing Bahrain’s role in the regional space sector.
This project is a product of Bahrain’s growing collaboration with the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) in the UAE, reflecting the kingdom’s commitment to fostering scientific innovation. It also serves as a catalyst to inspire the next generation of Bahraini scientists and engineers, propelling the nation into a new era of space exploration.
