Orbital Space

Orbital Space is a Dubai, United Arab Emirates-based private aerospace company founded in 2018 with the mission of making space accessible to a wider range of customers and markets. The company develops space technologies and satellite-based services tailored to the needs of the Middle East and Arab world, a region with rapidly growing demand for space-based data and services.

Orbital Space focuses on Earth observation applications, satellite services, and space technology development, working to build the UAE's commercial space sector alongside government-led programs such as the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre. The company draws on Dubai's position as a global business hub and the UAE's ambition to establish itself as a leading spacefaring nation.

As the UAE invests heavily in its space industry — demonstrated by the Hope Mars Mission and ambitious long-term space exploration goals — Orbital Space represents the private sector dimension of this growth, developing commercial capabilities that complement government programs and expand access to space for regional governments, industries, and research institutions.
