The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s vision to become a world leader in space and aeronautical activities in support of its national security and sustainable development interest can be achieved through cooperative efforts with Excalibur Almaz. The Excalibur Almaz space program provides tremendous access and influence in the space industry - particularly in the areas of tourism, micro-gravity science and space transportation. Excalibur Almaz’s turn-key space services built from existing, flight-tested hardware can extend Saudi Arabia’s presence to a wide range of destinations including orbiting space stations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the moon and beyond.   Furthermore, this vision can be achieved in short timeline as early as 2014 for launching cargo missions and 2015 for launching manned-missions.

Since its formation in 2005, Excalibur has been working towards completion of our human space transportation program for science, sovereign nations and tourist. Our main partners include NPOM, United Space Alliance (USA), EADS Space Transportation (Astrium) and NASA on their Commercial Cargo & Crew Program through a Space Act Agreement (SAA). Excalibur Almaz owns four Reusable Reentry Vehicles (RRVs) and two space stations purchased from NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) of Russia. The RRVs have been to orbit and reentered the earth’s atmosphere nine times. The designer has stated the RRVs can be reused at least 15 times. The use of flight-tested spacecraft and hardware provides a very cost effective and time saving approach to the space transportation business.
