**Saudi Arabia is aggressively entering the world of satellites with advanced technologies**

**Asharq Al-Awsat reveals details of the deal between the American company iRocket and Space Belt.**

The announcement by the American company iRocket of a **$640** million agreement with the Saudi company Spacebelt opens the door for a strong Saudi entry into the world of satellite manufacturing and space services. The agreement aims to provide a secure infrastructure for launching satellites in the Kingdom, opening the door for a strong Saudi entry into the world of satellite manufacturing and introducing new technological developments. The parties to the deal affirm that it serves the Kingdom's goals in "Vision **2030**" and the broader digital transformation.

Under this agreement, iRocket will provide launch vehicles for up to **30** SpaceBelt launches, with the goal of establishing a secure, resilient, and autonomous satellite communications network spanning the Kingdom and the GCC. The collaboration includes joint testing and future launches within the GCC, paving the way for technology transfer, regional manufacturing, and the expansion of space capabilities.

In July, iRocket announced a **$400** million deal to go public through a merger with BPGC Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company backed by investor and former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross

Ross oversaw this five-year agreement, which aims to establish a space logistics platform and provide secure satellite launch facilities based in Saudi Arabia.

In statements to Asharq Al-Awsat, Ross and iRocket CEO Asad Malik presented a roadmap for the Kingdom's launch into space and satellite systems, highlighting their potential uses to achieve the national and commercial ambitions of Vision 2030, enhance the Kingdom's technological capabilities, create highly skilled jobs, attract international investment, and drive economic diversification.

In a statement, Eng. Mohammed Al-Tuwaijri, co-founder and chairman of Space Belt Saudi, said that this partnership supports the national and commercial ambitions of Vision **2030.** He expressed his hope that this cooperation will not only contribute to enhancing Saudi Arabia's technological capabilities and creating new, highly skilled jobs, but also to strengthening the Kingdom's position as a regional leader in the space sector, attracting international investment, and driving economic diversification for the benefit of all Saudis.

Spacebilt CEO Cliff Peake also expressed optimism about the partnership, calling it a "significant step" toward the company's goal of leading safe space operations.

**An important achievement for both companies**

**Ross described the agreement to Asharq Al-Awsat as a very significant deal for both companies. It coincided with the news of another company in the same field, Firefly, going public at a valuation of $IO billion, underscoring the importance of this growing industry** **.**

![](image_005.jpg)

The importance of this deal, according to Ross, lies in several key aspects:

A practical implementation of Vision 2030: The agreement embodies Crown Prince - Mohammed bin Salman's vision to transform the Kingdom into a more technology-oriented country, particularly in the field of satellites.

Secure communications systems: The deal aims to create highly secure space communications - systems and develop new methods for encrypting data on satellites. Furthermore, according to Ross, the company offers a more efficient system for launching communications satellites. It's a reusable system, similar to the reusability achievement of Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX. Ross adds that the CEO of iRocket has developed a rocket whose entire components can be reused, making it extremely cost-effective.

This deal gives Saudi Arabia significant capabilities in launching satellites and communications satellites.

In addition, Malek explained to Asharq Al-Awsat that these space capabilities will also be used for humanitarian purposes, such as providing high-speed internet in remote areas, environmental monitoring, and disaster management, enhancing the Kingdom's reputation as a leader in international aid.

**Stages of the agreement**

Regarding the phases of the five-year agreement and what it is expected to achieve, Ross said: "We have developed a fully reusable launch system, so we want to be able to deploy the satellites as soon as they are developed. We have a lot of things to do over the next five years, including expanding our technology and conducting launch and integration tests. We are working with the Saudi government to obtain the necessary permits, and with the US Federal Aviation Administration on launch licenses. We will begin the process of equipping the vehicles and moving to the location from which we plan to launch many of the satellites."

**competitive advantage**

From an investment perspective, Ross sees this partnership as attractive for several reasons, most notably: unlike SpaceX's rockets, which require factory overhaul, iRocket's rockets can be overhauled within just 24 to 48 hours between launches; and the ability to launch a limited number of satellites to achieve full coverage. Additionally, a unique method has been developed to encrypt data to and from the satellite while it is in space, ensuring maximum security.

Malek added that iRocket offers an integrated platform that allows the Kingdom to build a secure "cloud" space infrastructure, giving it comprehensive national control over its space assets.

**prosperous future**

Despite robust space programs in other countries in the region, such as the UAE, which is investing around $10 billion, Saudi Arabia's initial focus is on localizing and developing STEM jobs, according to Ross. He added that the Kingdom aims to create a thriving economy in this sector, which will attract the best engineers, technicians, data operators, and control centers, and establish an entirely new industrial sector in space, launch services, and satellite applications.

Regarding protection from cyber attacks, Asad Malik emphasized that ensuring the security of these systems is one of the most important objectives of the deal, expressing his confidence in the Kingdom's ability to provide secure communications and protect itself.

Regarding the future of space infrastructure in the Kingdom, Ross expects it to become a highly profitable market in the region, opening the door to new industries such as space-based satellite maintenance, space-based solar panel manufacturing, and early warning systems. He also noted that satellites will be key to many economic activities and will be used in medical and pharmaceutical experiments and other innovations, making the Kingdom a leader in this field.

For his part, Malik emphasized that "Saudi Arabia is also a leader in AI labs and has built a space data processing center to handle AI analytics to integrate effectively with the AI system in NEOM. It is also proceeding with the construction of smart cities linked to land use monitoring systems, construction tracking, urban sprawl analysis, and water and crop health." According to Malik, these steps demonstrate the Kingdom's development over the next decade and its potential to become a magnet for future jobs in the fields of science, technology, AI, robotics, and space, providing highly skilled job opportunities for many positions such as propulsion engineers, thermal construction engineers, electronics engineers, and satellite manufacturing engineers, all of which offer high incomes for Saudis.

 

*The following is a transcript of Wilbur Ross' appearance on Opening Bid on August 4, 2025.*

00:00 Brian Sozzi

Tell us a little bit about what the SPAC you're sponsoring uh in iRocket and what it does and uh why are you interested in doing this?

00:12 Wilbur Ross

Yes, when I finished my term at commerce, I started a SPAC along with two other people who had been partners of mine at WL Ross and Co. pre the administration. And we indicated that the SPAC had a broad range of possible targets, uh one of which was space. And we now have found what we regard as a very good opportunity in space, and that's iRocket. I think you've seen the press release that they just put out this morning about a new letter of intent for Saudi Arabia for 640 million dollars to take care of around 30 launches. So that's a very big development because they're not yet in the revenue stage. So getting a letter of intent that big from a major civilian entity is very good. And what they let what their product does is the following. You'll remember that Elon Musk's great innovation at SpaceX was having the lower section, the launch section, be retrievable. It actually lands very close to the original point of departure and is reusable. But under Musk's SpaceX, the upper section is not retrievable. These fellows have developed a way to make both sections retrievable. That's a tremendous saver of money and it also is very, very useful in terms of how quickly you can get the rocket back into service. They can turn it around within 24 hours. And the reason our military has been largely funding this company until now is that they cannot only launch communication satellites, they can also launch drones. So you could have a situation where in a war fighting environment we're launching drones from both ground level, which is where they normally have been, all the way up to hundreds and hundreds of miles into space. So it would make it very difficult for the defenders to be able to fend off drones if they're coming from every kind of a different direction.

03:18 Brian Sozzi

We look forward to continuing to follow the progress on iRocket, Mr. Secretary. Always nice to get some time with you. I appreciate you coming on. Of course, the secretary is the author of the book Risks and Returns. We'll look forward to uh talking again soon.
