Arab Space Mission To Mars

The United Arab Emirates has purchased a seat on a SpaceX rocket for an Emirati astronaut to journey to the International Space Station for a six-month stay, officials said Friday, the oil-rich federation’s first long-term mission as it advances its ambitions in space.

UAE’s Hope Probe is set to reach Mars and enter its orbit following a seven-month journey. This would make the UAE the fifth space agency to reach the planet. The Emirates Mars Mission, which has cost around $200 million, launched the Hope Probe from a Japanese space centre.

The first Arab space mission to Mars, an unmanned probe dubbed "Hope", blasted off from Japan on Monday, in a bid to reveal more about the atmosphere of the Red Planet.

The first Arab space mission to Mars, armed with probes to study the Red Planet's atmosphere, is designed to inspire the region's youth and pave the way for scientific breakthroughs, officials said Tuesday.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Saturday launched a space centre to oversee the country's preparation for the Mars exploration mission.

The ruler of the UAE's emirate of Dubai said the mission will prove the Arab world is still capable of delivering scientific contributions to humanity.
