Saudi Arabia elects first woman astronaut what he will send into space, according to state media, in a new attempt to renew the kingdom’s ultra-conservative image.

Ryan Barnavi will accompany astronaut Ali Al-Karni for a mission to the International Space Station (ISS) “during the second quarter of 2023,” the Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday, following the first announcement on the matter late last year.

against conservatism

The agency added that the astronauts will “join the AX-2 space mission team” and the space flight will be “launched from the United States.”

The Gulf monarchies are seeking to diversify their heavily energy-reliant economies.

actual leader Saudi Arabia, Prince Mohammed bin Salman has also tried to change the country’s conservative image through a series of reforms.

Since he came to power in 2017, women have been allowed to drive and travel abroad unaccompanied by a man.

The proportion of working women has also increased from 17% to 37% since 2016.

This is not the first flight of a Saudi citizen into space.

In 1985 Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, an airline pilot, he participated in a special mission sponsored by the United States, becoming the first Muslim and Arab citizen to go into space.

The Saudi Arabian Space Authority was established in 2018, and last year the country launched a program to send astronauts into the space. (AFP)
