Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Corporation used an H2A rocket to launch the United Arab Emirates Mars probe Hope in the sky.
At 6:58 local time on the 20th (5:58 Beijing time), the H2A launch vehicle carrying the Mars probe "Hope" was launched from the Nakajima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. Hope is not only the first Mars rover in the UAE, but also the first Mars rover in the Arab world. The UAE hopes that the probe will arrive on Mars in 2021 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the UAE. (Editor Zeng Chen)
