At the moment, Abdulla is studying the basics for electronic engineering and hopefully by the second semester of next year he aims to specialize in satellite engineering. During his experience at Es\u2019hailSat, he admits his perception of the space industry is now different from what he originally thought.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/marquee-test-akiaisur2rgicbmpehea\/aE0RfhfORI2xwLpqmAeQ_Mubarak%20Jumah%20Abdulla.png\"><figcaption>Mubarak Jumah Abdulla<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAt first I thought satellites were mainly being used for television broadcasting, then I found out it is much more than that,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"162\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/FZz9iySXRYeep99k82GX_01_VS_040115_Cover_DGTL_p01-300x162.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/FZz9iySXRYeep99k82GX_01_VS_040115_Cover_DGTL_p01-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/FZz9iySXRYeep99k82GX_01_VS_040115_Cover_DGTL_p01-800x433.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/FZz9iySXRYeep99k82GX_01_VS_040115_Cover_DGTL_p01-640x347.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/FZz9iySXRYeep99k82GX_01_VS_040115_Cover_DGTL_p01.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the April 2015 Issue<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-0 fs-smaller text-balance\">Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<button class=\"btn btn-primary\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"offcanvas\" data-bs-target=\"#offcanvasMENU\" aria-controls=\"offcanvasExample\" aria-label=\"button\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tView More <i class=\"bi bi-arrow-right-circle\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>Abdulla sees Qatar\u2019s plans for the satellite industry with excitement as the country seeks to manage its communications infrastructure indigenously as much as possible. \u201cI was convinced that the future of Qatar is in hydrocarbons like oil and gas and nothing else, but then I did my research and found that there is a movement to change the future of the country and the long term aim is to be completely dependent on resources other than gas and oil,\u201d he adds. \u201cThe satellite industry is a new field in Qatar, which give us lots of opportunity to learn from people who started before us and be able to deliver this knowledge to the generations after us.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/marquee-test-akiaisur2rgicbmpehea\/pQkbTBYrSulHLcdmLXZA_Jaber%20Saeed%20Bawazir.jpg\"><figcaption>Jaber Saeed Bawazir<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another young person trying to take advantage of the opportunities in the space industry in Qatar is Jaber Saeed Bawazir another scholarship student at Es\u2019hailSat.
