Dr. Mansour Hassan, President of Beni Suef University, announced today that two graduation projects from the first batch at the Faculty of Science of Navigation and Space Technology won in the second session of the Space Startup Hub, which was organized by the Egyptian Space Agency in cooperation with the Academy of Scientific Research. They are the manufacture of an ion propulsion system for satellites and applications of satellite images in following up on agricultural wealth to embrace the creation of startup companies in this field, the first project called the startup company “AG THRUSTERS and the second AGRI SENSE.”

Dr. Mansour Hassan congratulated the winning students and the professors supervising these projects, expressing his happiness at the distinguished level demonstrated by the first batch of the Faculty of Science of Navigation and Space Technology through the research teams that were formed from the students to prepare these unique projects, which are a real research nucleus for projects that will serve humanity in the future.

Dr. Osama Shalabia, Dean of the College, explained that based on the National Program for Technological Incubators, known as Intilak, it is considered one of the major national projects that aims to explore new ideas and embrace their owners, including entrepreneurs, researchers, and university students.

It is noteworthy that the first project under the supervision of Dr. Mohamed Murad, Assistant Professor in the Department of Space Communications, which specializes in applications of satellite images in tracking agricultural wealth, which is based on integrating remote sensing and artificial intelligence techniques for environmental analysis and infrastructure management. It consists of related projects that address data collection and processing, water resource management, discovering and classifying different crop patterns, and developing comprehensive tools for water resource management and drought monitoring. Integrating remote sensing and artificial intelligence technologies into all projects allows for efficient data analysis and information and management decision-making. The second project is also concerned with manufacturing an ion propulsion system for satellites, which is an ion propulsion engine using space debris, where we can alleviate the problem of space debris and prevent the possibility of collisions, as well as prolonging the life of satellites by reducing their fuel consumption under the supervision of Dr. Muhammad Al-Farran Space Communications.

This came in order to activate the role of the university and the importance of thethe Faculty of Science of Navigation and Space Technology’s participation in the first generation of its graduates in the field of space science and technology, and based on the national program for technological incubators known as Intilak, which is considered one of the major national projects that aims to explore new ideas and embrace their owners, including entrepreneurs, researchers, and university students. .
