The success of the "Hope Probe" is capturing the attention of newspapers and international stations

The UAE’s success in reaching Mars and entering the “Probe of Hope” into its orbit around the Red Planet captured the attention of the most important international newspapers and stations, which closely followed this historical precedent that reinforces the UAE’s growing position as a center for space science and knowledge.

A news report of the BBC's website described the arrival of the "probe of hope" to its orbit around Mars, on Tuesday, as a historical moment that will clearly mention the success of the UAE in its scientific exploration mission of the red planet through its probe reaching its orbit.

He pointed out that the Hope Probe project is the first mission that connects Mars among 3 other exploration missions that this month seeks to reach the orbit of Mars.

The report dealt with a set of technical information related to the Al-Amal probe, pointing out that the probe moved on its journey to reach the red planet at a speed of more than 121 thousand kilometers per hour, to run in the most difficult stage the reverse propulsion system, which was developed by the Emirati work team, for a period of 27 minutes until it was completed. It was captured by the gravity of Mars after reducing the speed of its approach to Mars to about 18 thousand kilometers per hour to enter orbit.

The report reviewed the moments of anticipation experienced by the working team at the control center at the probe at the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center in Dubai, explaining that the signal takes 11 minutes to arrive from the probe, which necessitated that the Al-Amal probe should have independence to complete its maneuver.

On the scientific importance of the probe, the report stated that the Hope probe will provide an unprecedented comprehensive picture of its orbit around the Red Planet, which will regularly provide wonderful pictures of the red planet.

In describing the importance the probe represents to the UAE, the report stated that the mission of the Hope Probe is a source of inspiration for UAE youth and Arab youth in general to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics in schools and at higher education levels.

The report stated that the mission of the probe had begun six years ago to bear fruit now and reach Mars in the year in which the UAE celebrates the golden jubilee of the establishment of its union fifty years ago.

He shed light on the group of knowledge partners for the Emirates Mars Exploration Project and the knowledge transfer goals that the probe mission has achieved since the launch of the project, which aims to provide the global scientific community with unprecedented new scientific data on the atmosphere of the red planet and inspire a new generation of Emirati scientists, engineers and specialists in the sectors of science, technology and engineering. And vital mathematics to promote a diversified economy based on knowledge and innovation.

For its part, CNN reported in a report the news of the arrival of the UAE's first mission to Mars and its successful entry into the orbit of the Red Planet from the first attempt, with all its details.

"CNN" indicated that the Hope Probe made the UAE the fifth country in history to reach the Red Planet, and the first in the Arab world.

She praised the goals of the project that do not stop at this point, as the probe will provide the first integrated image of the Martian atmosphere and will collect different data on the atmosphere to measure seasonal and daily changes as well, as the probe will take a different orbit from all previous spacecraft that visited Mars orbit, and the probe will take a complete picture of the atmosphere. Mars every nine days of the mission.

The report referred to the project's goals of building a knowledge-based economy in the UAE, which would result in more investments in science, technology, engineering and mathematics for Emirati youth.

The report referred to the list of workers on this project, in which the percentage of women constituted 34%, and young Emirati engineers with an average age of 27 years.

The Washington Post published detailed news coverage on its website about the success of the Emirati Al-Amal probe in reaching Mars orbit.

The newspaper stated that the UAE became the first Arab country to send a spacecraft to Mars after the UAE project to explore Mars, "the Probe of Hope", successfully reached Mars after entering the capture orbit around the Red Planet with an unprecedented maneuver at the level of space missions that succeeded in reducing its speed using the existing six propulsion engines. On board simultaneously.

She said that the success of the mission represents a historic moment for the UAE, which is seeking to develop its space program, noting that the project opens the way for an active period of deep space exploration .. The Hope Probe project also helps to instill a passion for science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines among the new generations in the country. The UAE and the Arab World, after the UAE achieved the arrival of the first Arab mission and the fifth global mission to Mars.

The newspaper pointed out that the probe will not land on the surface of Mars, but will remain in the orbit of the planet to study the Martian atmosphere, confirming by the project's engineers that entering the capture orbit was the most sensitive and dangerous part of the journey to the planet, as the probe was exposed to many challenges and had to work on its own. Dealing with it according to the programs previously developed by the project team.

After achieving this achievement, the probe is preparing to move to the scientific orbit and start collecting scientific data over a full Martian year equivalent to 687 days on the Earth calendar, to put the information it collects within the reach of more than 200 scientific and research institutions around the world to serve the global scientific community.

The New York Times published a report on the UAE’s success in becoming the first Arab country and the fifth in the world to reach Mars, after the Hope Probe succeeded in reaching its orbit around the Red Planet.

The newspaper attached with the report pictures showing moments of celebration of the success of the project and decorating a number of buildings and landmarks at night in red, in line with the color of Mars, with the success of the UAE in becoming the third country in the world to reach Mars from the first attempt after a journey that lasted about seven months after its launch towards Outer space in July 2020, and it covered 493.5 million kilometers until it reached the Red Planet.

The newspaper's report touched on the scientific mission awaiting the Hope Probe, as it will spend a Martian year equivalent to about two years studying how dust storms and other weather conditions affect the planet's atmosphere, as well as studying dust clouds, water vapor and temperature in the lower atmosphere, and will check carbon monoxide and hydrogen And oxygen in the upper atmosphere.

The report referred to the advanced scientific devices carried by the probe, which were developed by the team of the Emirates Exploration Mars Project, which will work throughout the mission to collect 1000 gigabytes of new data that will be available to more than 200 scientific and research institutions around the world free of charge to contribute to enhancing human knowledge and empowering the global scientific community .

The Hope Probe project also contributes to stimulating interest in the space sector and its related disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics at the level of the UAE and the Arab world, which establishes the preparation of youth cadres qualified to lead the diversified sectors of the economy based on knowledge, innovation and advanced technology.

The Virg website closely followed the success of the Emirati probe to reach Mars on Tuesday, noting in a report that this success places the UAE among a small group of the largest forces in the space sector who have sent spacecraft to study the red planet.

The report pointed to the next phase of the mission, in which the probe will spend two years taking comprehensive pictures of the planet to understand its atmosphere and weather changes.

He talked about the launch stage of the probe in July 2020, within a fateful timing and a narrow and specific launch window when the Earth and Mars align at their closest point around the sun.

This only happens once every two years.
