Meanwhile, in a significant leap for Morocco’s space ambitions, the National Center for Scientific and Technical Research (CNRST) at Mohammed V University in Rabat, alongside the Royal Center for Space Studies and Research, successfully launched two university-developed nanosatellites.

This milestone initiative aims to cultivate a new generation of Moroccan researchers and engineers in the field of space technologies.
