The Emirates Mars Exploration Project, “Probe of Hope”, which began work in July 2014, is a turning point in the history of the UAE, as it contributed to its formal entry into the global space exploration race, among the 26 missions that succeeded in reaching the Red Planet, launched by nine countries around the world.

The achievement of the "Probe of Hope", in just six years, is a scientific and technical precedent, as the project of building an integrated probe for transmission to the Red Planet represents a task five times more difficult than designing and building satellites that revolve around the earth, as it will operate in unusual conditions, the most important of which is an environment The unique planet Mars, the scientific mission accomplished by it, and the journey from the Earth to the orbit of Mars, in addition to the challenge of the stability of the probe in the orbit of the planet for a period of four years to monitor the scientific data. The probe in its orbit around Mars will be completely controlled from the territory of the Emirates, and by the hands of the "Ground Control Center" team of the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center.

The probe, which will start its path next July, will contribute from the Tanegashima Space Center, located on the island of southern Japan, to reach Mars in February 2021, in conjunction with the UAE’s celebrations of its golden jubilee, traveling 493.5 million km on a seven-month journey, with a mission aimed at Providing answers to a number of important research questions, which are focused on the scientific community that specializes in Mars sciences. The rocket carrying the probe will record a launch speed of 34 thousand and 82 kilometers per hour, out of the Earth’s gravity, followed by the opening of the solar panels of the probe after its separation from the rocket, until it reaches the beginning of its orbit around Mars, as it is scheduled to enter the orbiting probe next February, and it will need to About 55 hours to complete a full orbit of the planet.

The "Probe of Hope" aims to study the state of the weather on the Red Planet, the effect of changes in the lower layer in the upper layers, the fading of the atmosphere, and seasonal climate changes, to provide new data for humanity that is monitored for the first time.

Deputy Head of State:

• "Our country is a pioneer in writing history and making achievements, and we will dedicate the world a wealth of space science and knowledge."

• “The probe of hope sets out carrying the message of an Emirati homeland, the hope of a nation, and the aspirations of Arab and Muslim peoples for a bright future.”

• "Our message to the world is a message of peace and hope for a prosperous future, in which science and knowledge will be a book open to peoples."

Dubai Crown Prince:

• “Exploring Mars has become a reality thanks to the will of the youth of the nation, who have devoted their effort to serving humanity.”

• “Mars is no longer impossible .. We are a people who do not know the word impossible in our dictionary.”
