Saudi Arabia's Space Ambitions Soar with Historic Achievements.
Two Saudi Arabians, including the first woman from the kingdom, are currently living and working on the International Space Station as part of the Ax-2 mission. This is just the beginning of Saudi Arabia's ambitious plans for space, which include a sustainable human spaceflight program focused on conducting science for the benefit of all humanity and increasing technical skills and human capital. The Ax-2 mission is a significant step towards this goal, with 11 scientific experiments and three scientific outreach programs, and there will be continued participation in future missions.
