Oman launches satcoms manufacturing programme
Oman has launched a national programme to design, develop and assemble a CubeSat satellite, described by authorities as a first move toward building its own satellite manufacturing and space technology capabilities.
The initiative is framed as a way to grow local technical skills and lay groundwork for a domestic satellite sector, rather than relying entirely on foreign suppliers. Details on project timelines, partners and specific applications for the CubeSat have not been fully disclosed.
