His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-president and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has tweeted about the return of UAE's first astronaut Hazzaa AlMansoori, saying that Emirati people of the UAE thank God for the safe return of the son of the UAE.
"The son of UAE has safely returned to Earth after finishing the first trip of an Arab to the International Space Station. We are proud of the achievement and happy about the knowledge and experience we gained, and we are optimistic about the new journey we have started for our generations," Sheikh Mohammed added.
Hazzaa AlMansoori, the UAE's first astronaut to have visited space and the International Space Station, landed on Earth after an eight-day journey. He had flown to the ISS last Wednesday on board the Soyuz MS-12 mission, S61 Expedition.
AlMansoori, father of four and a former military fighter jet pilot, rocketed off at 5.57pm (UAE time) on September 25 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome's Gagarin Launch Pad.
