Saudi's about to Discover the Earth is not Flat

There are many videos made by Saudi Clerics that are adamant that the Earth is flat and stationary, because is says so in the Qur'an

Well those Clerics have beeb saying that NASA and the Americans lie 

They are about to find out themselves....

KhalifaSat launch to set off new era in space imagery

The 100% Emirati-designed and built imaging satellite will outdo its predecessors

A team made up entirely of young Emirati engineers.

Dubai: The launch of the KhalifaSat — the first Emirati-designed and built satellite — on October 29 will signal the beginning of a historic new space technology era in the country.

The UAE's third satellite is set to outdo its predecessors.

The KhalifaSat is an imaging satellite designed and built by Emiratis on UAE soil, specifically in the clean rooms of the Mohammad Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) in Al Khawaneej. The project began in December 2013 and is scheduled for launch on October 29 in Japan.

Once in orbit, KhalifaSat will provide a high-resolution imagery of 0.7m in a Low Earth Orbit trajectory, meaning from an orbit 600km above the earth. Capturing the earth's natural beauty in precise detail and accuracy is the satellite's predominant mission.

Equipped with the latest in space and imaging technology, KhalifaSat will prove to be a powerful imaging tool, more agile than its predecessors: the DubaiSat-1 launched in Kazakhstan in 2009 and DubaiSat-2 launched in Russia in 2013.

"The launch is a very important project for MBRSC and the UAE, because it's the first domestically designed and built satellite, completed in our clean rooms based in Dubai. This was a long-term vision by the leadership, His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. Its early cornerstones were set over 10 years ago in 2005, with the development of the DubaiSat-1 and Knowledge Programme," Salem Al Merri, assistant director-general for Scientific and Technical Affairs at MBRSC, told Gulf News.

"It's been a long journey and we see the rewards being reaped today. The launch will be a historic moment for the country," he added.
