Praying Towards Mecca in Space

Malaysia's space agency, Angkasa, convened a conference of 150 Islamic scientists and scholars in 2006 to address the question, among others, of how to pray towards Mecca in space. A document was produced in early 2007 called "A Guideline of Performing Ibadah (worship) at the International Space Station (ISS)" and was approved by Malaysia's National Fatwa Council.
