JSRI - Jordan Space Research Initiative

The Jordan Space Research Initiative (JSRI) team started to develop a roadmap for Jordan's participation in the Moon Village as an emerging space country in July 2020. The building blocks for our roadmap were chosen based on the priorities identified in the preliminary roadmap for Jordan's implementation of the UN Space2030 Agenda, which was created by our founder at the International Space University and presented at the International Astronautical Congress in 2020. Our roadmap focuses on Analog Missions for the Moon & Mars, including Water Resource Management, Renewable Energy, ISRU (in-situ resource utilization) and Robotics, Dust Mitigation, Agriculture and Smart City Infrastructure), as well as Community and Stakeholder Engagement. JSRI was created to carry out this roadmap and engage fellow Jordanians while contributing to lunar exploration. With the objective of eventually establishing an analog facility in Jordan where future space technologies can be tested, our aim is to stimulate space R&D in Jordan in a way that benefits life on Earth and aligns with sustainable development and Jordan's national priorities and capabilities.
