Space-D: Using Nano Satellites and IoT to Improve Utilities Operations and Maintenance

By Erika Masako Welch 12 October 2024

Bet you didn’t know that the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) had its own space programme? DEWA’s space programme, called “Space-D” was launched with the aim to improve the operations, maintenance and planning of its networks with the support of nanosatellite technology, Internet of Things (IoT), and remote sensing technologies. The program was launched in January 2021.

In January 2022, DEWA-SAT1, a nanosatellite in collaboration with NanoAvionics, was launched; this meant that DEWA became the world’s first utility player to use nanosatellites to improve maintenance and planning of electricity and water networks. The nanosatellite was designed and developed by DEWA’s Research and Development Centre at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
