His Royal Highness Prince Sultan bin Salman, a former Royal Saudi Air Force pilot, The Custodian of The Two Holy Mosques King Salman’s son and the first Arab man to go out into space has created a legend for himself in space.<\/p>\n

People who lived to see the exciting moment in history, when the Prince flew aboard the STS-51-G Space Shuttle mission with NASA back in ’85 can still probs remember just how glorious a moment it was.<\/p>\n

Prince Sultan has also recently been appointed as head of the Saudi Space Commission<\/h3>\n

The newly-formed space agency is a great initiative by King Salman to further empower and create a space for the Kingdom’s budding aerospace fanatics and prospective employees.<\/p>\n

It was announced just two days ago that, Prince Sultan, the first Arab and Muslim to ever go out into space has now been appointed to lead the organisation.<\/p>\n
