Officials of the Germany-based aerospace firm met with SSC’s chief operating officer Majed Al-Onazi, discussing possible areas of cooperation. No further details were disclosed.

Countries have been reviving space programs in recent years with Gulf countries such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia also increasing their activity.
