In Bahrain, the first Bahraini artificial satellite "Almender" has been successfully launched. This information was shared by the project director of the artificial satellite Aisha Al-Haram. This artificial satellite belongs to the category of nanosatellites and is equipped with technologies of artificial intelligence for analyzing cosmic images on board the very satellite itself. The ruler of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, instructed to create the "Bahrain Cosmic Agency", which will be subordinate to the upper assembled council. The artificial satellite was launched aboard a Falcon 9 rocket of the American company SpaceX as part of the Transporter-13 mission from the Vandenberg spaceport in California. The satellite successfully detached from the rocket and reached its orbit, synchronously with the sun, at an altitude of 550 kilometers above sea level. The next stage will be a series of orbital tests to ensure its readiness for operation before the commencement of full-scale exploitation. The project director Aisha Al-Haram emphasized that the satellite is equipped with cybersecurity for data protection.
