The second edition of the Katara Space Science Program (KSSP), organized by the Cultural Village Foundation, Katara, in collaboration with the global MAPS Foundation, concluded amidst great enthusiasm and significant participation at the Katara Al Thuraya Planetarium.

The three-day program featured a diverse range of interactive scientific activities focusing on “How to Reach Outer Space” and the “Artemis Program to Return to the Moon,” presented by scientists from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

The program included three sessions, each offering a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

One of the highlights was the hands-on workshop where participants built and launched prototype space rockets from the Al Thuraya Planetarium, under the supervision and guidance of the participating scientists.
