Overview

Space technology is improving our lives and making the world a better place. The global coverage of satellites offers a unique, fact-based perspective that can help us overcome our greatest challenges. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, or Global Goals), unanimously adopted at the United Nations in 2015, are a great summary of the world’s current challenges. Space is one of many important tools that can be used to help us address them. The establishment of the "Space sciences and Remote Sensing" program came in support of Egypt's national scientific strategy to enter the era of outer space science. This national support clearly began with the establishment of the Egyptian Space Agency. Therefore, the establishment of the Space Environment and Remote Sensing program is considered a step toward achieving this strategic goal. The program is considered one of the main pillars in this great national project and aims to contribute to providing and filling the acute need for qualified human cadres to work in the space industry. The study in this program depends on the theoretical, scientific and applied aspects through the conclusion of contracts and scientific cooperation agreements, and the implementation of research projects with research institutions and national and foreign scientific bodies to form the necessary cadres in the field of space technology and industry.

Mission
