The Sultanate of Oman is set to launch its first experimental scientific rocket, Duqm-1, under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology’s National Space Programme. The project, executed and funded by Etlaq Company, part of the National Space Services Company, marks a milestone in Oman’s space ambitions. The first launch of Duqm-1 is scheduled for next Wednesday from the Duqm region (coordinates 18°N, 56°E). The 6.5-metre rocket, weighing 123 kg when fuelled, will ascend 140 km above sea level at a speed of 1,530 m/s, with a flight duration of approximately 15 minutes. Due to safety precautions, this initial launch will not be open to the public.
