In July 2014, the UAE announced the Emirates Mars Project and the development of the first Arab probe to explore the Red Planet.

The "Probe of Hope" presents the first comprehensive study on the climate of Mars and its various atmospheric layers.

The "probe" reaches the Red Planet in 2021, on a mission that will last for one Martian year.

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center handles the implementation and supervision of all the design and launch stages.

The Emirates Space Agency shall finance and supervise the procedures and details necessary for implementation.

Over the past six years, a team of Emirati engineers and researchers has worked to develop the "probe".

The "probe", which will be unoccupied, was called "hope."

On April 25, 2020, the "probe" was moved to its launch site in Japan.

It will depart from the remote Japanese island of Tanegashima, on July 15.

Technical details and scientific devices for the "Hope Probe": The

"Probe" is made of aluminum, with solid panels in a beehive-like design.

The "Hope Probe" consists of a compact, hexagonal stereoscope, with a solid, strong structure and light weight

Dimensions: 2.37m x 2.9m.

Bandwidth view: 1.6 Mbps, at the closest point between Mars and Earth.

High power pickup with 1.5m air dish.

A self-controlled digital camera that captures high-resolution color images and sends them to the planet.

An ultraviolet spectroscopy that studies the upper atmosphere and tracks the effects of oxygen and hydrogen gas in deep space.

Infrared spectrometer, which measures patterns of temperature changes, ice, water vapor and dust in the atmosphere.

Stages of the "Probe of Hope" on its journey to the Red Planet:

Starting date: 15 July 2020.

Cruising speed: 34.082 km / h.

Place of departure: Japan, on board the "Mitsubishi" missile.

The "probe" will take about 7 months on its journey to Mars.

The "probe" will travel an estimated 493.5 million km.

At a speed of 121,000 km / h.

The "probe" uses a tracking device to find its location and direction.

When it reaches Mars orbit, the "probe of hope" will slow to 14,000 km / h.

The "probe" starts orbiting Mars in an oval orbit, and it takes 55 hours to complete a full rotation around Mars.

There will be a delay of the signal from the "probe", which ranges between 13 and 26 minutes.
