Since the ascent of Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the first Arab astronaut and the first Muslim astronaut, to space in 1986, the Kingdom has been actively involved in space endeavors. These achievements have had both local and international significance, marking a technological and digital transformation in Saudi Arabia's journey to space. Through its astronaut program, Saudi Arabia aims to empower exceptional and talented citizens, enabling them to compete on both local and global stages. This involves developing and supporting their talents financially and morally, providing everything they need for their space missions. Abdulmohsen Hamad Al-Bassam, a retired officer in the Royal Saudi Air Force and former astronaut specialist, has played a significant role in this endeavor, working as a reserve mission specialist and spacecraft commander. Ali Al-Qarni and Rayanah Barnawi, who were selected as part of the AX-2 space mission by the Saudi Space Commission in February 2023, represent Saudi Arabia's continued success in space exploration. Ali Al-Qarni is a Saudi astronaut, and Rayanah Barnawi is the first Saudi woman to venture into space. Saudi Arabia's accomplishments in space are a source of pride, with the country producing the first Muslim astronaut and the first Arab Muslim female astronaut. These space missions have left a lasting scientific impact on the world and continue to inspire future generations. The Kingdom's achievements in space reflect years of dedicated efforts. Sending the first Saudi woman and Saudi man to the International Space Station is a testament to these efforts, enhancing Saudi Arabia's global standing in space exploration and manned missions.
