From Virtual to Reality
The UAE Asteroid Mission
The United Arab Emirates Space Agency (UAESA) is pioneering humanity's next chapter in space exploration with an ambitious asteroid belt mission launching in 2028.
Emirates Mission to the Asteroid Belt
A groundbreaking mission to study multiple asteroids and pave the way for future resource utilization
The Emirates Mission to the Asteroid Belt (EMA) represents the UAE's ambitious leap into deep space exploration, targeting multiple asteroids in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter.
This historic mission aims to study asteroid composition, analyze resource potential, and demonstrate technologies that could enable future asteroid mining operations.

AsteroidExplorer.AE Partnership
Connecting digital exploration with real space missions
In support of this historic mission, we've secured AsteroidExplorer.AE—a premium .AE domain representing the UAE's space ambitions.
Our Proposal to UAESA:
- Use AsteroidExplorer.AE as the public-facing educational hub
- Integrate Asteroid Quest as a gamified learning platform
- Inspire the next generation of Emirati space engineers
- Connect global players to real mission milestones
Educational Hub
AsteroidExplorer.AE could serve as the primary educational platform, making space science accessible to students worldwide.
Global Community
Connect international space enthusiasts with UAE's mission, building a global community of asteroid explorers.
