And the new ongoing global coverage of the "Hope Probe" mission, two reports published in the British newspaper "The Observer" and "The Guardian", talked at length about the scientific goals of the "Probe of Hope" mission in studying the climate of the Red Planet, and the three global space missions of the United Arab Emirates, China and the United States of America that will arrive To Mars this February.

The Emirati "Probe of Hope" is scheduled to arrive first, followed by the Chinese spacecraft "Tianan-1" the next day, then the American "Perseverance" spacecraft on February 18th.

The newspaper pointed to the increasing desire of many countries to develop their own space technology and explore the solar system, noting that Mars is a difficult place to visit, especially since among the dozens of Mars missions sent since 1960, about half of them were destroyed or never reached the planet due to failure Components, errors in the missile engine or in software, as well as the planet is hundreds of millions of kilometers from Earth.
