UAE launches first Arab mission to Mars – Education – Australian Associated Press
The Arab world’s first interplanetary trip has begun with a United Arab Emirates spacecraft blasting off to Mars from Japan.
The United Arab Emirates has launched its first mission to Mars as it strives to develop its scientific and technological capabilities and reduce its reliance on oil.
