The Interdisciplinary Research Center for Aviation & Space Exploration (IRC-ASE) has been established at King Fahd University (KFUPM) with the aim of advancing space-based research through the development of innovative technologies and approaches. As one of the leading university laboratories in the Kingdom, IRC-ASE is dedicated to creating a scientific and technical environment that fosters innovation and supports the growth of the aviation and space sectors. By promoting the localization of aviation and space-related activities, developing Saudi human capital in space, enhancing national resilience, and promoting national identity, IRC-ASE is aligned with the strategic goals of Kingdom's Vision 2030.
Remote sensing is the process of gathering information about an object or area from a distance, typically using specialized equipment such as satellites, airplanes, or drones. Astronomical remote sensing refers to the use of telescopes and other instruments to observe celestial bodies and phenomena from afar. With advancements in technology and data analysis techniques, remote sensing has become an important tool for understanding our universe, from studying the properties of distant stars and galaxies to detecting planets beyond our solar system. Remote sensing astrometry, in particular, focuses on measuring the positions, motions, and other properties of celestial objects using remote sensing techniques.
