In August, Bayanat and Yahsat announced the successful launch of their first Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite into orbit in partnership with ICEYE, a pioneer in SAR satellite operations for earth observation, persistent monitoring, and natural catastrophe solutions.
“We are looking forward to completing the merger with Bayanat in the second half of the year and are finalising plans for the successful integration of both companies. This merger will position the new combined entity – Space42 – as an AI-powered space technology champion in the MENA region with global reach,” Ali Al Hashemi, group CEO of Yahsat, said during the release of the first half of 2024 results.
“For the first time in our industry, we will combine advanced satcom solutions and geospatial analytics, operating communication and Earth Observation satellites across multiple orbits,” said Al Hashemi.
Yahsat’s revenue fell by 3 per cent in the first half of 2023 to Dh734 million while Net income increased strongly by 62 per cent to Dh269 million.
