Scientific achievements

KACST's Space Research Institute has designed some satellites that are used in scientific purposes. Such as: SaudiComSat-1 and SaudiGeo-1 In 2006, KACST signed a collaboration agreement with CERN to participate in the construction of LINAC4 project. KACST engineers constructed a warm prototype of it. This prototype was then qualified at CERN. And now, KACST is working build up a high-energy physics community to participate in future CERN programs. In September 30, 2008, KACST funded the science team of Gravity Probe B, helping them to complete the project. In 2012, KACST announced the first electrostatic accelerator in Saudi Arabia. This accelerator has been designed by the National Center of Mathematics and Physics.
