The UAE Hope Mission

Amidst this pandemic, I assure you something great is approaching very soon. Something that will not only expand human knowledge but human limitations as well : The Hope Mission of the UAE 

A large team of aerospace engineers are currently working on launching a probe that will study weather on Mars and help us understand the planet better. Yes, you read that right, this mission will continue amidst the COVID - 19 pandemic. 

This mission isn’t just a representation of reaching new heights but also symbolizes diversity and stands as a proud moment for Arabs around the world because 200 of these engineers are proud Emiratis and 34% of the team are women. 

This probe mission has three major goals :- 

1). Increase our understanding and knowledge of the Martian atmosphere and the Red planet better.

2). Inspire the Arab youth and be able to encourage children to pursue science and technology further. 

3). Send a message of hope to Arabs everywhere and give them confidence in knowing that the world will not recognize them for only poverty or war. 


Launch Dates & Extra Info :-

14th July  -   8:51:27 (planned)  

Hope probe is scheduled to reach Mars in 2021  (around February)

On the day of the launch, there will be two groups :-

 One at the launch site in Tanegashima Island, Japan. 
The other in a mission control room in Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center, Dubai. 




This will be the story of how bedouins from the desert reached Mars in just 48 years...
