The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center has received the first signal from the "Hope Probe", after it separated from the H2A launch missile. The technical team at the center will analyze the data received from the probe, which confirms the success of the launch.

It is scheduled that, 28 days after the launch, the propulsion and orientation system of the probe will be used to direct it towards Mars orbit, as the high-precision propulsion system was designed with an Emirati contribution.

And in the first Arab and Islamic mission to explore the Red Planet, the "probe of hope" will reach the orbit of Mars in the first quarter of 2021, in conjunction with the UAE celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Union, in a journey expected to take seven months, during which the probe will travel 493 million km .
