Bahraini Space Engineer's Groundbreaking Study Recognized by the UN

The United Nations has spotlighted an innovative study by Bahraini space engineer Aisha Al-Jowder as a leading example of how space technology can help fight desertification and drought. The study, developed by Al-Jowder—a remote sensing data analyst at the Bahrain Space Agency—uses satellite data and remote sensing techniques to identify areas with potential underground water reserves. The approach supports sustainable water management and contributes directly to achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation for All. The report, published by the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), praised the study as a strategic model for how space-based tools can play a vital role in tackling environmental challenges—especially in drought-prone regions like the Middle East. 'This recognition is a great honor,' said Al-Jowder. 'At the Bahrain Space Agency, we believe that space data can be a powerful tool for promoting environmental sustainability. With the continued support of our agency's leadership, we are committed to developing innovative solutions that help Bahrain manage its water resources efficiently.' The report also commended Bahrain's broader efforts to use space technology to address environmental and development issues, highlighting the Kingdom's growing leadership in the regional space sector. Al-Jowder's work is part of the Bahrain Space Agency's ongoing commitment to support national strategies aimed at water and food security, as well as environmental sustainability, in alignment with Bahrain's Vision 2030.

BSA concludes second phase of satellite payload development project for carbon dioxide

The Bahrain Space Agency (BSA) has announced the completion of the second phase of its project to develop a satellite payload for monitoring carbon dioxide, in collaboration with the University of Leicester and British company Geospatial Insight. The £1.4 million project was funded by the UK Space Agency's International Bilateral Fund. During this phase, Bahraini engineers worked alongside British experts to design the mission concept and develop a hyperspectral camera for oxygen detection, which will enhance the accuracy of carbon dioxide monitoring. The team also contributed to the development of a carbon dioxide sensor and participated in commercial studies to assess the project's broader applications for Bahrain and the Gulf region. Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim Al Aseeri, Chief Executive of the BSA, highlighted that the collaboration aligns with the agency's strategy to build international partnerships and expand its capabilities, particularly in delivering advanced data and imagery services to benefit Bahrain and the Gulf. Rasha Al Amad, Head of Strategic Planning, emphasised the importance of accurate greenhouse gas monitoring for effective climate action, noting that reliable carbon dioxide data is essential for countries and organisations to understand emissions patterns and develop strategies for carbon neutrality. Space engineer Yaqoob Al Qassab described the project's second phase as a significant milestone, providing Bahraini engineers with advanced technical expertise. Once launched, the payload will deliver high-speed, real-time data on carbon dioxide emissions for Bahrain and the Gulf region. The project ultimately aims to deploy a constellation of satellites equipped with this technology. BNA?R)
