In a momentous achievement for the United Arab Emirates' space program, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) has officially confirmed the triumphant return of astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi from the International Space Station (ISS).

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) has officially declared that astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi is poised to make his return from the International Space Station (ISS) on September 3rd.

The Emirates Mars Mission, the Arab world's first interplanetary exploration, has made the first observations of a new type of proton aurora around Mars. The spatially variable 'patchy' proton aurora could provide new insights into unexpected Martian atmospheric behavior. To fully characterize these observations, the EMM team collaborated with NASA's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) mission.

These three types of aurora had previously been identified, but clear global images of the discrete aurora were elusive until new observations were made by EMM’s probe shortly after its arrival on Mars. Now, an increased focus on discrete aurora observations by the EMM science team has resulted in observations of this new phenomenon of sinuous discrete aurora.

“In what has been a challenging year for the international MICE industry, DWTC has led the way in safely reopening international large-scale events,” said Mahir Abdulkarim Julfar, Executive Vice President, Venue Services Management, Dubai World Trade Centre.

The UAE has been impressive in its progress since the unification of its Emirates. With over 40 years of history, the UAE has made significant contributions to medical, educational, technological and social fields.

Unique global snapshots of discrete aurora of Mars are the first time such detailed and clear observations have been made globally, as well as across previously unobservable wavelengths. Implications for our understanding of Mars’ atmospheric and magnetospheric science are tremendous and provide new support to theory that solar storms are not necessary to drive Mars’ aurora,’ commented Hessa Al Matroushi.

Following a successful cruise to Mars, a near-perfect Mars Orbit Insertion manoeuvre and our transition from Hope’s capture orbit to our science orbit, we have completed our commissioning, calibration and testing phase. I am delighted to be able to report that the Mars Hope probe is perfectly positioned to commence its two-years science mission.
