Photos: How UAE's Mars probe will complete its 493,500,000km journey
Dubai - A rocket operated by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) called H-IIA will carry the probe to space.
The Arab world’s first inter-planetary mission will take off at 00:51:27 UAE time on July 15 from Japan’s Tanegashima Space Centre.
<strong>But just how will the probe bearing the UAE flag reach its orbit?<strong>
<strong>Here is how the mission will be accomplished<strong>
A rocket operated by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) called H-IIA will carry the probe to space.
The first stage launcher speed would be 34,000km/h.
Hope Probe will separate from the launch vehicle at 1.51am UAE time — an hour after its launch.
The solar panels on the probe will be deployed to capture energy that will power its batteries.
It will cruise at a speed of 121,000km/h.
It’s expected to enter the Martian orbit seven months later in the first quarter of 2021 — the year that marks 50 years of the UAE’s union.
A ground control team in Dubai will take control of the probe after liftoff.
