His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said: "Our country is a pioneer in writing history and making achievements, and we will dedicate the world a wealth of space science and knowledge."

His Highness indicated that the probe of hope is preparing to launch to Mars, bringing with it the message of an Emirati homeland, the hope of a nation, and the aspirations of Arab and Islamic peoples for a bright future.

His Highness affirmed that the Hope Probe team represents the Emirati family and the Emirati community through the cohesion of its members and the collective of its performance and the excellence of its skills and passion for the country.

His Highness concluded by saying .. "Our message to the world is a message of peace and hope for a prosperous and sustainable future in which science and knowledge will be a book open to peoples."

During the visit, His Highness, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, briefed on the details of the final preparation phase before launching the Hope Probe, as His Highness listened to a detailed explanation about the final arrangements for preparing the probe for launch.

For his part, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and President of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center and general supervisor of the project of the probe of hope ..

The exploration of Mars has become a reality thanks to the will of a group of youth of the homeland who have devoted their time and effort to serving humanity and have become a source of pride and hope for the Arab and Islamic nations ... adding, His Highness, “Mars is no longer impossible, as we are a people who do not know the word impossible to exist in our dictionary.”

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum visited the clean room and control room for the regulations and procedures, and reviewed his penultimate piece of the probe, which also contains the signature of the mother of the Emirates, and His Highness handed over the work team the last piece of the probe to be installed in its place.

The team provided a detailed explanation of the project management, risk management, operations, and how the team faced the challenges and overcome them, with a presentation of the most important tasks accomplished by the work teams, which so far totaled more than 12 thousand tasks to accomplish the probe. The team provided details of the assembly of the probe components that include the fuel tank, the science instrument panel, solar panels, electronic systems and heat-insulating materials.

His Highness inspected the work of the sub-teams of the project, which includes 6 teams, which are the project management team, the scientific team, the probe development team, the scientific devices, the probe control team and the educational programs team. The team reviewed before his highness the probe development stages, the plan of the trip, the goals of science, the transfer of culture, and the love of exploration, all the way to the program for the transfer Knowledge, represented by a panel discussion involving the project team and academic partners from the United States of America.

The visit was attended by His Excellency Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and the Future, Sara Bint Yousef Al-Amiri, Minister of State for Advanced Sciences, His Excellency Major General Talal Hamid Belhoul Al Falasi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Authority for Regulating the Communications Sector in the State, and His Excellency Hamad Obaid Al Mansouri, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Center Mohammed bin Rashid Space.

The Emirates Mars Exploration Project "Probe of Hope", which started in July 2014, is a turning point in the history of the UAE, as it contributed to its official entry into the global space exploration race among the 26 missions that succeeded in reaching the Red Planet launched by 9 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 that is five times more difficult than designing and building satellites orbiting the Earth, as it will operate in unusual conditions, the most important of which is the unique and important environment of Mars. Scientific accomplishment and flight from Earth to the orbit of Mars, in addition to the challenge of persistence of the probe in the planet’s orbit for a period of four years during which scientific data are monitored.

The probe in its orbit around Mars will be controlled entirely from the territory of the UAE and by the hands of the "Ground Control Center" of the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center.

The probe, which will start in its path next July, from the Tanegashima space center located on the southern island of Japan to reach Mars in February 2021, in conjunction with the celebrations of the UAE’s golden jubilee, traveling 493.5 million km in a seven-month trip, and a mission aimed at providing answers to a number of Important research questions that the scientific community focusing on Mars science focuses on. The rocket carrying the probe will record a launch speed of 34,082 km per hour out of the Earth’s gravity, followed by opening 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 about 55 hours to complete Full orbit around the planet.

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

During the project, the team was rehabilitated through an intensive program in transferring knowledge, preparing them to design the most accurate parts of the Hope Probe "Program for the Development of Scientists and Researchers in Space Sciences", which is supervised by the best scientists in the world in the field of Mars and resulted in the qualification of Emirati engineers and researchers from the pioneers of Mars In fields that have not previously been trained in state level specialists.

The "Probe of Hope" team, which consists of 150 engineers, engineers, researchers and researchers from the sons and daughters of the UAE, has succeeded in achieving new achievements in efficiency and design, as it managed to involve more than 60 thousand students, teachers and academics in the educational and educational programs that the team worked on.

The project, in which the participation of women constituted the highest percentage in the world by 34%, contributed to developing the capabilities of scientists specializing in the field of Mars, establishing 6 university programs in space science, developing more than 200 designs for new scientific technology, and making more than 66 mechanical parts on state soil.

The probe will send 1,000 gigabytes of data and information to the scientific community around the world, which will be available to more than 200 scientific and research authorities around the world, while the project has contributed to providing research information since the work began on it six years ago, as the scientific team of the probe published more than 87 working papers and specialized scientific research In studying the atmosphere of Mars, it contributes to achieving a quantum leap in the field of space. The team also accomplished more than 41 joint projects between researchers, students and scientists in the United Arab Emirates, the United States of America and France.
