United Arab Emirates launches space quest for Mars

The United Arab Emirates has previously conquered the sky by constructing the world’s tallest building and now the oil-rich country has set its sights on the stars, promising to send the first unmanned Arab spaceship to Mars by 2021.

With a view to coincide the journey with the 50th anniversary of UAE’s formation, a new space agency will be created to supervise the mission, Gulf News reported.

With this mission, UAE will be one of the nine privileged countries in possession of the space programme to explore Mars.

The report quoted President Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan as hailing the moment as the Islamic world’s entry into the realm of space exploration. He also added that space technology will be used in enhancing the country’s development plans.

The project is crucial to the Gulf state because it will establish itself as an important component of the country’s economy in the years to come.
