United Arab Emirates spacecraft |
UAE first interplanetary mission to Mars is set to launch by a Japanese rocket.
The United Arab Emirates joins the elite spacing exploring countries around the world as it launches it interplanetary mission to Mars.
The spacecraft will be launched out of earth's atmosphere by a Japanese rocket, then the UAE's spacecraft will orbit the planet to study it atmosphere and weather.
The Emirates Mars Mission dubbed "Hope for Probe" will be the first probe to provide the complete picture of the Martian atmosphere and it layers when it reaches the red planet orbit in 2021.it is setup to help answer the questions about the global Martian atmosphere and the loss of hydrogen and oxygen gases into space over the span of one Martian year. The Emirates Mars mission has the dream of delivering the first complete mission of the Martian atmosphere.
Their laid out objective for the purpose of the mission is to,
- Understand climate dynamic and global weather map through characterising the lower atmosphere of Mars.
- Explain how the weather changes the escape of hydrogen and oxygen through correlating the lower atmosphere condition with upper atmosphere.
- Understand the structure and variability of hydrogen and oxygen in the upper atmosphere as well as identifying why Mars is losing them into space.
The reasons for their exploration to Mars is announced on their site,as the reasons for their exploration is because the red planet has captured human imagination for centuries.
According to their reasons.
"Now we are at a junction where we know a great deal about the planet and we have the vision and technology to explore further,Mars is an obvious target for exploration for many reasons,from our pursuit to finding extra terrestrial life to someday expand human civilization to other planets, Mars serves as a long term and collaborative project for the entire human race".
The UAE government specified that the scientific mission should be unique,when the spacecraft is launched, it will take seven months to reach Mars, it will arrive Mars in February 2021,then it will attempt to insert itself into orbit around Mars.
After the launch, China plans to launch an orbiter,rover and lander to the red planet on July 23rd, after which NASA will launch it rover to Mars called perseverance.
