Falak to Pioneer First Arab Nonprofit Space Research Mission by March End
Falak for Space Science and Research is set to make history with the first Saudi-led experiment investigating the eye microbiome in space. The mission, part of the FRAM2 polar orbit expedition, will launch aboard a SpaceX rocket by the end of March. This groundbreaking study aims to advance space medicine by analyzing how microgravity affects the eye's natural microbiome. Moreover, the findings could enhance astronaut eye health and uncover potential medical applications on Earth. All preparatory stages—including sample collection, microbial cultivation, and rigorous environmental testing—have been completed flawlessly, ensuring the mission meets the highest scientific and technical standards. Why This Research Matters? Compare microbiome growth in space vs. Earth Study genetic and proteomic changes caused by microgravity Assess microbial biofilm formation, which may increase infection risks in space Examine potential shifts in antibiotic resistance after space exposure While past research has explored microgravity's effects on gut and oral bacteria, the eye microbiome remains understudied. This mission bridges a critical knowledge gap, contributing to global efforts in understanding space's impact on human health. Finally, Falak's initiative marks a major milestone in Arab-led space research, reinforcing the region's role in pioneering scientific discovery.

Saudi Arabia to Participate at Triennale Milano's International Exhibition
Saudi Arabia is set to participate at the 24th International Exhibition at the Triennale Milano design museum in Italy later this year, according to Arab News. Saudi Ministry of Culture has announced that the Kingdom will organize a pavilion dedicated to the agricultural oasis of Al-Ahsa. Titled 'Maghras: A Farm for Experimentation,' the exhibition is hosted by the Architecture and Design Commission. Curated by Lulu Almana and Sara Al-Omran, the event will run from May 13 to Nov. 9. The exhibition will offer glimpses into the intersection of farming traditions, ecological shifts as well as cultural memory within a rapidly transforming landscape. Interestingly, Maghras farm has inspired the team through its community-driven programs as well as research and artistic interventions. Directed by Alejandro Stein, the pavilion takes the form of a transplanted maghras. This form represents a traditional unit of land defined by four palm trees. Crucially, the exhibition seeks to engage audience with Al-Ahsa's evolving agricultural ecosystems through videos, sound installations and participatory programs. In order to offer a comprehensive view about Al-Ahsa, artists, architects, and researchers collaborated with the region's farming communities and collected firsthand insights into the region's shifting landscape. In addition, they deepened their cooperation through performances, film screenings and local workshops that focus on the strong connections between culture and agriculture.
