The KhalifaSat project was launched in 2013 by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, with the aim of manufacturing the first space satellite on the UAE soil. Following its launch in 2018, the remote sensing satellite will provide images of the earth for practical application in a variety of industries. Watch how Emirates SkyCargo experts transport the satellite from Dubai to Incheon International Airport in South Korea on a Boeing 777 freighter aircraft that was specially chartered for the occasion.
