UAE Mars Probe Launch From Japan Rescheduled For July 20

A Japanese rocket carrying the first Arab mission to Mars will blast into space on Monday, after being delayed by bad weather, the launch company said Friday.

The lift-off of the United Arab Emirates’ “Hope” probe, originally planned for Wednesday, is now set for 6:58am Monday from Tanegashima Space Centre in southern Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries said.The probe is one of three racing to the Red Planet, with Chinese and US rockets also taking advantage of the Earth and Mars being unusually close: a mere hop of 55 million kilometres .

“Hope” — “Al-Amal” in Arabic — is expected to start orbiting Mars by February 2021, marking the 50th anniversary of the unification of the UAE.The goal is to provide a comprehensive image of weather dynamics in the Red Planet’s atmosphere.
