Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud
The Koran exhorts the faithful to observe the stars and planets,
but few Muslims have come as close to touching them as Prince
Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud of Saudi Arabia.
The first Arab in space, Sultan bin Salman was a Payload Specialist
aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery's June 1985 flight, which
launched a satellite designed to improve communications among Arab
countries.
