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.
Space Vehicle Design & Structures is a field of study that focuses on the design and construction of spacecraft and space vehicles, including rockets, satellites, and manned spacecraft. This field is critical to enabling space exploration and has applications in a wide range of industries, from satellite communication and weather forecasting to national security and space tourism. Space Vehicle Design & Structures research involves the use of advanced materials, such as composites and ceramics, as well as innovative design techniques to develop lightweight and robust structures that can withstand the harsh conditions of space travel.
