Emirates Mars Mission

Hello ATS and specially the astronomy guys and guyzets

over the past 12 years of being a member I did not think or even imagine that i would post something like this, its not a ground breaking thing, certainly not for those who have achieved it before us, but it is for me and my fellow citizens, as an astronomy lover since my childhood this is an amazing achievement to me and my fellow citizens, I present to you the Mars Hope Mission, created by us and launched by the Japanese.

unfortunately, I wont be able to watch it because the launch will be at 1:58:14 am local time and I will be full a sleep.

but you lucky westerners will be able to, so enjoy it while you can.

the mission is to reach mars, orbit and study the weather.



that should be the link to the launch, lucky you who could watch

and this is the link to the mission website

enjoy it while you can, I will watch it tomorrow and hopefully it will be a success

thank you ATS

it was delayed a couple of times due to weather so lets hope it launches today

Thanks for the reminder

Quite a few Mars launches approaching:

July is a big month for missions to Mars.

Three new spacecraft — from NASA, China and the United Arab Emirates — are due to lift off on their journey to the Red Planet.

Perfect launch. It is now in earth orbit and waiting for the final boost that will send it to Mars.

yes, and its a new experience, lets hope it suicides in its mission

I'm really excited for this mission because the UAE are about to embark on a serious data collection mission that will lead to the successful colonization of Mars one day.

This is an investment....what kind of crap are they trying to pull now....racing to Mars to make claims or some such garbage.....I hope someone else in this Solar System shows up and slaps down some rules before we flock up another planet with our Money Mongers leading the way.
