The UAE last week achieved a major milestone after Hazzaa lifted off to the ISS on the Soyuz MS-12 mission, S61 Expedition. AlMansoori, father of four and a former military fighter jet pilot, rocketed off at exactly 5.57pm (UAE time) on September 25 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome's Gagarin Launch Pad.
