Maritime activity restricted during rocket test off Al Wusta coast: MAFWR
The launch of "Duqm-2' rocket into space will take place from Al Khal area in the Wilayat of al Jazir and Hitam area in the Wilayat of al Duqm.
The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology said the launch is scheduled between 12:00 am to 6:00 am on ( 5, 6, 8, 9 July 2025).
Meanwhile, the MAFWR noted that fishing and marine activities will be restricted to ensure safety.
According to officials, the rocket's drop zone is expected to remain within 500 metres of the launch site.
They urge fishermen and sea-goers to comply with all safety instructions and avoid the designated area during the launch period.

Oman's Etlaq Spaceport: A new hub for the new space economy
MUSCAT: In today's space race, it's the lean and adaptive — not the legacy giants — who are setting the pace. As private space companies push the boundaries of propulsion systems, small satellite tech and reusable launch vehicles, they're increasingly on the lookout for launch partners that offer more than just real estate. One of the newest — and most surprising — answers to that call is Oman. Etlaq Spaceport, located near the coastal city of the Wilayat of Al Duqm, Al Wusta Governorate, is gaining attention from space startups across the globe. Not because it's the biggest, but because it's fast, flexible and surprisingly accessible. Backed by Oman's National Aerospace Services Company (NASCOM), the spaceport has quickly positioned itself as a responsive, startup-friendly gateway — an emerging alternative to heavily booked and bureaucratically burdened launch complexes. Stellar Kinetics has chosen Etlaq for the maiden launch of its Kea-1 vehicle. 'The upcoming mission will be the inaugural launch of the Kea-1 vehicle, offering a unique opportunity to test orbital class systems such as stage separation mechanisms and active guidance under unprecedented timelines,' stated a company representative. Their mission is part of the Duqm-2 suborbital flight scheduled this year. Stellar Kinetics is part of a growing shift in the new-space economy, where iterative testing, agile development and hardware validation happen quickly — and repeatedly. Traditional launch sites can involve long wait times, complex onboarding and rigid launch windows. For smaller companies trying to keep pace with tight funding milestones and evolving designs, those delays can be deal-breakers. Etlaq's agile structure is built to answer that need. Through its Genesis Programme, the spaceport enables launch service providers to move from planning to liftoff in as little as 14 weeks. This type of responsive launch cadence is rare in a market dominated by legacy infrastructure. Stellar Kinetics has chosen Etlaq for the maiden launch of its Kea-1 vehicle. Beyond timeline acceleration, startups are drawn to Etlaq's partnership mindset. Rather than offering pre-packaged services, the spaceport provides custom launch support — vehicle integration, environmental testing and mission coordination tailored to the provider's needs. For startups that don't have the scale or capital of larger aerospace firms, this degree of access and flexibility is a game-changer. Even research payloads are finding opportunities in Oman. Onboard Duqm-2 will be two international experiments from the UK's university-led JUPITER programme and Taiwan's SIGHT Space. The teams are sending a compact CubeSat and an even smaller PocketQube to conduct microgravity experiments and onboard systems validation — objectives that are often delayed, deprioritised and prohibitively expensive in larger missions elsewhere. Oman's location, near the equator with direct ocean overflight zones, gives technical advantages for a wide range of orbits. But more importantly for these startups, the country is building a framework that supports innovation: clear regulatory pathways, public-private collaboration and an openness to emerging technologies. While Oman's space programme is still in its early stages, its engagement with foreign startups is already shaping a reputation: not as a competitor to the world's spacefaring superpowers, but as a strategic enabler for the next generation of launch providers. In this new era of space access, Etlaq offers something rare — speed, access and support for those trying to build the future of flight. Startups aren't just coming to Oman to launch. They're coming here to learn fast, move fast and fly again.

Maritime activity restricted during rocket test off Al Wusta coast: MAFWR
Muscat: The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources (MAFWR) announced temporary restrictions on marine activity off the Al Wusta coast as Oman prepares for a rocket test launch. The launch of "Duqm-2' rocket into space will take place from Al Khal area in the Wilayat of al Jazir and Hitam area in the Wilayat of al Duqm. The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology said the launch is scheduled between 12:00 am to 6:00 am on ( 5, 6, 8, 9 July 2025).

Etlaq Spaceport in Duqm to start operating by 2027
Muscat – Oman's first spaceport Etlaq is expected to be operational by 2027, according to H H Sayyid Azzan bin Qais al Said, Founder and CEO of National Aerospace Services Company (NASCOM). The announcement comes as Oman consolidates its position in the regional space sector following the successful launch of Duqm-1, the first spacecraft developed under a Middle East-led initiative. The milestone marked a significant step forward in the sultanate's ambitions to establish a national space infrastructure for commercial and scientific purposes. Etlaq Spaceport, being developed in Duqm, is designed to offer end-to-end logistical and technical services for satellite and sub-orbital vehicle launches. Oman's strategic location has been highlighted as a key advantage for attracting global operators. 'The facility will eventually include four launch pads and support a range of missions, from micro to heavy payloads, including reusable systems,' informed H H Sayyid Azzan. 'NASCOM is also developing local human capital through dedicated training programmes, aligned with the company's goal of generating in-country value and fostering national capabilities in space technologies.' Under a programme named Al Takween (Genesis) launched in 2024, the company supports short-turnaround launch operations, enabling testing and qualification of spacecraft within 14 weeks. Recent developments include a second launch pad for experimental flights and a new assembly facility. NASCOM's next mission – Duqm-2 – is being conducted in partnership with New Zealand-based Stellar Kinetics. The mission's sub-orbital KEA-1 vehicle, measuring 12m, will be used to test stage separation and guidance systems. It will carry two international scientific payloads and explore microgravity conditions, contributing to research and technology development. Dr Saud bin Humaid al Shuaili, Director General of Policies and Governance and Head of National Space Programme at Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, said the spaceport project supports Oman's strategy for space exploration.
