The whole world congratulates the sisterly United Arab Emirates for the arrival of the Hope probe to Mars, as well as the US space agency "NASA" congratulates the UAE for launching the "Hope Probe" for the discovery of Mars, and promised to cooperate with it through the Artemis program on and around the moon
The Emirati Al-Amal probe is expected to enter the capture orbit around Mars at 7:42 UAE time on the ninth of February this year, as a culmination of the efforts made by 7 years of preparations and preparations made by the Emirates Project to explore Mars as a prelude to the final stage of its journey, which is the scientific stage
The Hope probe in deep space has traveled at an average speed of 121 thousand kilometers per hour, for about 7 months, since its launch from the Tanagashima space base in Japan on July 20, 2020, about 493 million km, and the weight of the automatic "Hope" probe is 1,350 kg. It is roughly the size of an SUV
The most difficult stage lies in slowing the speed of the probe launched in space at a speed of 121 thousand kilometers per hour to 18 thousand kilometers per hour, within 27 minutes, and the UAE is the fifth country to reach the planet at all, in an event that coincides with its celebrations of the fiftieth anniversary of its birth this year
