The United Arab Emirates launched their first mission to Mars, Hope, earlier today. The mission is expected to reach Mars in February 2021. It will study the Martian atmosphere, weather cycles and events to understand why the atmosphere is losing hydrogen and oxygen into space.
It was built by the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center with the University of Colorado, Arizona State University and the University of California, Berkeley.
If it is successful, it will be the first mission to Mars by any Arab or Muslim country.
