In Lebanon, the National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS-L) is the public institution in charge of science-policy making.Given the benefit scale of space-related applications, the CNRS-L will leverage CubeSat technology towards sustainable development. We will do this by supporting the research and education in Lebanon in the space field as well as providing opportunities for space technology transfer to the Lebanese scientific and professional communities.To this end and in the framework of the Technical Assistance Facility program for the Government of Lebanon funded by the European Union, the project entitled "CubeSat Technology: Towards Developing the First Lebanese Nanosatellite" was selected to provide the CNRS-L and the different Lebanese Universities with the international best practices and skills in Space technology to better contribute to sustainable development.Therefore, for the first time in Lebanon, the CNRS-L is at the brink of launching a project in the field of Space Technology and Nanosatellites design.A national symposium will kick off the project in the first half of 2019.
