The agreement outlines a comprehensive framework that spans research and development, payload creation, satellite integration and ground infrastructure operations.
This integration enhances TIIs ability to develop and test hybrid quantum-classical computing approaches - an important area as quantum processors will be integrated with classical systems to provide utility.
The newly developed 250-newton liquid rocket thruster, capable of generating enough force to lift 25 kg on Earth, was conceived, engineered and built entirely within the UAE.
The mission spans 13 years, with a six-year spacecraft development phase followed by a seven-year voyage to the main asteroid belt beyond Mars.
The UAE Space Pavilion is showcasing the latest developments, leading projects, and milestones in the UAE's national space sector.
The envisaged QKD infrastructure has the potential to strengthen national security through a defence-in-depth approach, leveraging both fibre-based and space-based quantum networks.
