There is not much history when it comes to launching missions into space. It is no lie that the Soviet Union, now called Russia, along with U.S, China, India, and Japan have launched pretty massive space missions for the sake of exploration and to have the upper hand. With the advent of technology, more states are coming forward to take part in this venture.

The United Arab Emirates to launch its first mission to Mars

The United Arab Emirates is set to launch its first space mission to Mars today. The schedule is set for 5:58 PM EST. The spacecraft that will go on the mission is named “Hope,” and it is just a matter of hours before the countdown. The mission is also viewed as pride for UAE’s 50th anniversary of founding in December next year.

The main objective of the mission is to provide a global snapshot of the weather on our neighboring planet. The average travel time to reach Mars from Earth and back with the current spacecraft technology is 21 months, and to ensure that the mission is accomplished by the time of the anniversary, the spacecraft will be launched today.

Here’s how these solar particles interact with a few select planets and other celestial bodies.

Not the most glamorous of entrances, but, hey, beggars can’t be choosers.
