UAE leaders sign last part of Mars Hope Probe ahead of 2020 mission
Dubai - Final component with message of hope installed on Mars probe.
Sheikh Mohammed vowed to “gift the world with a wealth of space-related knowledge and expertise”. He said the Mars mission is a testament of the capabilities of the country’s youth. It sends a message of hope to the youth in the Arab world, he added.
The mission’s team at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre briefed the Dubai Ruler about the final technical and logistical preparations, and testing procedures ahead of the launch.
“Our country is famous around the world for path-breaking achievements that have made history,” Sheikh Mohammed said. “The Hope Probe project carries the hopes and ambitions of the Emirati nation and the aspirations of the Arab and Islamic people for a brighter future. We seek to send a message of peace and hope to the world, and envision a glorious future in which knowledge and scientific expertise are freely shared between nations.”
Hamdan hails youth: Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, said exploring Mars has become a reality thanks to the determined efforts of a group of youth who dedicated their time and efforts to serve humanity. Sheikh Hamdan, who is also the Chairman of the MBRSC and General Supervisor of the Hope Probe, said these youths are a source of pride for the Arab world. “Reaching Mars is not impossible for us. The world ‘impossible’ has no place in our dictionary,” Sheikh Hamdan said.
