Our Vision – From Dream to Orbit

At Horizon Satellite, our vision is not limited to the sky it extends beyond it.

 

We aspire to design, build, and launch the first Arab satellite powered by artificial intelligence within five years,

establishing a new era of data sovereignty, scientific excellence, and regional independence.

For decades, the Arab world has relied on external sources for satellite data and analytics.

Our mission is to change that narrative by making the Middle East and Africa creators, not just consumers, of satellite intelligence.

We envision a day when Saudi Arabia will lead the Arab space ecosystem, where our data, analysis, and AI-driven insights serve the entire region’s agriculture, security, environment, and economy.

This is not just a technological dream — it is a national responsibility and a pan-Arab calling.

A Vision Rooted in Purpose

Our future begins with a simple but powerful question:

“What if space could serve everyone  not just scientists, but every decision-maker on Earth?”

That question guides our strategy.

At Horizon, space is not a luxury; it’s a public resource, an enabler of sustainable growth.

We believe technology must not only measure change it must inspire it.

Through Earth Observation, AI, and education, we will help build nations that plan smarter, act faster, and grow stronger.

Our work is guided by three principles:

Accessibility

Democratizing access to satellite data and AI tools.

Accountability

Ensuring ethical, transparent use of space data.

Autonomy

Building Arab and African independence in data ownership.

Our 5-Year Roadmap – From Ground to Sky

We built a clear and achievable roadmap based on milestones aligned with Vision 2030:

 

Phase 1

Data & AI Foundation
(2025–2026)
  • Expand imagery sales and analytics for key sectors: agriculture, energy, environment, and defense.

  • Train Saudi engineers and data scientists on AI and remote sensing.

  • Establish Horizon’s AI Lab and integrate predictive algorithms for change detection.

Phase 2

Ground Station & Local Control
(2026–2027)
  • Establish a Saudi-based ground station to receive and process satellite imagery in real-time.

  • Develop secure data pipelines under national sovereignty, ensuring that no raw imagery leaves the country.

  • Begin collaboration with regional ministries and research centers.
  •  

Phase 3

Research & Prototyping
(2027–2028)
  • Launch Horizon CubeSat Program with universities and innovation centers.

  • Train and certify the first group of Arab satellite engineers and operators.

  • Test small payloads and onboard AI processors for environmental monitoring.
  •  

Phase 4

Manufacturing & Integration
(2028–2029)
  • Begin local assembly of key satellite components.

  • Establish partnerships with Saudi manufacturing entities and international R&D teams for technology transfer.

  • Build an advanced Satellite Integration Lab in Saudi Arabia.

Phase 5

Launch & Operational Independence
(2029–2030)
  • Expand imagery sales and analytics for key sectors: agriculture, energy, environment, and defense.

  • Train Saudi engineers and data scientists on AI and remote sensing.

  • Establish Horizon’s AI Lab and integrate predictive algorithms for change detection.

The Human Factor

Our Most Valuable Orbit

We believe people are our most advanced technology.

That’s why Horizon invests in education, internships, and research programs for youth — not just to train engineers, but to build visionaries.

Through our Education & Outreach initiative, we work with Saudi universities and African institutions to: 

  • Offer internships in satellite analytics and AI modeling.
  • Provide data access for graduate research.
  • Support innovation challenges for CubeSat design and AI algorithms. 

We are not only building a satellite — we are building a generation capable of launching one. 


 

Sustainability at the Core of Our Vision 

Space is our window to Earth  and we must protect what we see.

Our future satellite will monitor deforestation, desertification, and greenhouse emissions.

These insights will support the Saudi Green Initiative and help African governments manage environmental resources.

We see sustainability not as a checkbox, but as our moral orbit a guiding principle that ensures our innovation never harms the planet we serve. 


 

From Vision to Legacy 

Our Most Valuable Orbit

Our future does not end at launch it begins there.

We aim to leave a legacy that empowers future generations to own their data, to collaborate across borders, and to build an ecosystem where space serves humanity.

At Horizon, our dream is not to reach the stars, but to bring their light down to Earth.
