The First Kuwaiti Satellite (Kuwait Sat-1) will launch on board a space rocket from the FKM platform on Tuesday Jan. 3, 2023, from Florida in the United States.

Operator Director at the National Project for the first Kuwaiti Satellite Dr. Ahmed Al-Kandari said that once the Kuwait Sat-1reached its designated orbit, it would disengage from the rocket and spread its wings containing solar-powered batteries that would enable it to operate, adding that the satellite would be able to send its first message in four hours and two minutes after launch with the signal received at a station in Kuwait University.
