How the UAE got a spacecraft to Mars – on the first try

On 19 July 2020, a few months into a global pandemic that had paralysed the world, a rocket shot into the sky from the Japanese space launch site on its southerly island of Tanegashima.

Aboard was a small spacecraft, a little over 2m (6.5ft) wide and weighing about as much as a Ford Focus car. Onboard it were a host of cameras and spectrometers vital for its impending mission, one which would take it more than 493 million km (306 million miles) from Earth. Perched on top of its gold body was a large black radio antenna, which would beam its data across the vast, cold abyss of space to controllers sitting at their monitors.

The spaceship was called “Hope”. It was not American, or Russian, or from the European Union. Hope was the first spacecraft from the United Arab Emirates Space Agency (UAESA) to travel further than an orbit around the Earth. If successful, it would be the first spacecraft from an Arab nation to reach Mars, and the UAE would become only the fifth nation in the world to successfully put a spaceship in orbit around Mars.

As the United Arab Emirates (UAE) prepared to mark its 50th year, its space agency bet its reputation on putting a spaceship into orbit around Mars on the first attempt, to beam back details of Martian weather that had never been observed before.

Just six years before the launch, the UAE’s space agency didn’t even exist.

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) lies at the far end of Dubai International Airport, about half an hour’s drive east of the Burj Khalifa. By space centre standards it is relatively compact; you could probably lose it in the car park of Nasa’s giant Johnson Space Centre in Houston.

The collection of offices, workshops and clean rooms here is the nerve centre of the UAESA, still less than a decade old. It is from here that much of the work to guide the Emirates Mars Mission to the Red Planet was undertaken.

When I visit UAESA, in February 2022, it was a year since Hope had reached the end of its nearly 500-million-km (310-million-mile) journey from Earth and was poised to enter orbit around Mars. Getting this far was some achievement, especially for a space agency with such limited experience. The UAE had become only the fifth nation – after the US, Russia, China and India – to reach Mars, and only the second space agency to succeed on the first attempt (after India).

It is one of the space industry’s most ambitious newcomers. It was only inaugurated in 2014. A six-year attempt to forge a pan-Arab space programme, modelled on the European Space Agency, failed to materialise. This spurred the UAE to develop their own space agency, and may help explain its fast-forward approach ever since.

The UAE had launched seven satellites before its space agency came into being, all of them built by foreign companies such as Europe’s EADS, Boeing in the US and South Korea’s Satrec Initiative. It was only in 2018 that the nation was able to actually design its own: the KhalifaSat Earthsensing satellite, which was built by a team of Emirati engineers in South Korea at Satrec Initiative’s facilities. Hope only entered Mars’ orbit after a journey of nearly half a billion kilometres (Credit: UAESA)

KhalifaSat launched in 2018, sent into orbit aboard a Proton rocket from Kazakhstan’s Baikonur spacedrome. Its high-resolution images of Earth taken from some 613km (380 miles) above the Earth could be used for everything from urban planning to disaster relief. But the satellite had other objectives as well – kickstarting a scratch-built space industry in the Emirates.

In February 2022, Omran Sharaf was leading the Emirates Mars Mission. Sharaf, 38, says the inspiration for the mission was the “triple helix model, in which you have the private sector, the government and academics… to have that overlap happening. And not having each sector working as silos.”

With this, the UAE had staked its claim at becoming one of the 21st Century’s leading space agencies. In the Cold War, such developments would have seemed far-fetched. But space exploration in the 2020s is a very different beast. The space race dominated by the geopolitical rivalry of the US and the Soviet Union has fragmented, and now involves many more players – both commercial entities like America’s SpaceX, and upstart agencies from relatively small countries like the UAE.

In previous decades, space programmes that had successfully put satellites into orbit then turned their attention towards our nearest neighbour, the Moon. But not the UAE.

“The UAE had no time to wait and needed to expedite and speed up the building of these capacities. So it looked at Mars to do that,” Sharaf says. The deadline was for the mission to achieve Mars orbit before the country celebrated its golden jubilee in October 2021.

The nascent space industry’s potential may have been helped by the crash in the Gulf States’ aviation sector during the coronavirus pandemic. Long-haul hubs such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi had fallen almost silent as travel bans took hold. In 2018, the aviation sector was responsible for almost a quarter of the country’s GDP, and was expected to make nearly half by 2030 before the pandemic happened. The country has now had to look at other ways to keep its economy buoyant.

The Emirates Mars Mission was not just about waving the UAE flag on the world stage. At the heart of it was the intent to produce the most complete picture of Mars’s weather cycles yet observed. The spacecraft would study Mars with three main instruments.

The first was a high-resolution imaging unit able to measure, water, ice, dust and aerosols in the planet’s atmosphere. An infrared spectrometer would monitor radiance from the planet’s surface and atmosphere, measuring the surface temperature and amounts of dust in the atmosphere. Hope’s ultraviolet spectrometer, meanwhile, would measure the planet’s entire atmosphere and study its levels of hydrogen and oxygen – the building blocks of water, the key to life.

While more than 30 spacecraft and landers had visited the Red Planet, most had only caught snapshots of the planet’s weather. Hope intended to do something much more ambitious, covering an orbit that would allow it to take a global snapshot of the Martian climate, and follow it across the planet’s distinct seasonal changes.

Sarah Al Amiri, 35, was the UAE’s Minister of State for Advanced Science when I visited Dubai in February; she’s since become the country’s minister for public education and future technology. She had been obsessed with space since she was a child, but with an Emirates space industry an unlikely proposition, she studied computer engineering instead. By the time she graduated, at age 22, what would become the UAE’s space agency had begun to take shape. Al Amiri ended up working as a software engineer on two of the UAE’s earlier satellite projects, DubaiSat-1 and 2. By the time UAESA was touting the benefits of Hope’s forthcoming mission, Al Amiri was both the project’s science lead and also the country’s minister for state for advanced sciences.

By Amaechi Agbo

Immediate past governor of Niger State, Dr Babangida Aliyu has called for increased funding investment on grassroots sports particularly volleyball.

Known as “the Servant Leader” during his stewardship in the Power State, Dr Aliyu made the call during the final of the 6th edition of Life Camp Volleyball Club Championship in Abuja on Sunday.

The former Governor who was the special guest of honour at the final, commended the organisers and board of the Life Camp Volleyball Club for their resilience, commitment and dedication for the development of Volleyball in the country.

“I was a Permanent Secretary in the Federal Capital Territory when the idea about Life Camp Volleyball Club came up. For me it has always been like that. We will try and do our best but I think the federal government, and the private sector must come in to make sure that our sports activities are active especially at the grassroots level.

“The way we have been losing (in sports at global level), calls for concern. We are losing in sports at global stage because we have not paid attention at the grassroots level. That is why any time we get this kind of opportunity, we try to show up, so that people will understand the importance and those who are in it will be encouraged to continue to do it.

“Sports unites. Anytime Nigeria is playing football somewhere, there is unity, you don’t hear all the noise about that tribe or this tribe. One thing that is a unifying factor (in Nigeria) is sports, we must pay attention to it,” he said.

Teams White won both male female finals of the Life Camp Volleyball Club Championship which also marked the club’s 2022 end of year activities.

Team White defeated Team Blue 2-1 (20-25, 25-22, 15-12) in the men’s category to win the 6th edition of the tournament.

Team White also defeated Team Yellow 3-1 in the female category to win the coveted trophy.

They came from behind to win the trophy in 18-25, 25-14, 25-22 and 25-17 four sets.

Regragui targets winning 2026 World Cup after Qatar exploits with Morocco

Morocco showed they can compete with international football’s elite teams after finishing fourth at the World Cup, according to head coach Walid Regragui.

Goals from Josko Gvardiol and Mislav Orsic gave Croatia a 2-1 victory in Saturday’s thirdplace play-off, as Morocco’s historic World Cup came to a conclusion.

They became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals of international football’s top tournament, overcoming giants such as Spain and Portugal before finally succumbing to France in the final four.

Despite the losing end to Morocco’s campaign, Regragui believes the Atlas Lions exhibited their right to be considered one of the top footballing nations in the world.

“Tomorrow morning we will take stock, and realise we all made a fantastic achievement here,” Regragui told reporters at his post-match news conference.

“We played Croatia twice, one of the top three teams in the world. We played against Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium and Canada, that’s wonderful.

“We have an objective of winning the World Cup one day. Morocco showed we can go toe to toe with these teams. We are now one of the top four teams in the world.”

Asked if he would change anything about Morocco’s tournament, Regragui replied: “Honestly I would say nothing.

“We had 0.01 per cent chance of winning the tournament at the outset. We managed to get to the last four.

“We played some of the powerhouses of football. If you told me we’d get this far, number four in the world, I’d have accepted that straight away.

“We deserve respect. They fought until the end, showed hard graft. That’s football, some nations are stronger than us. France were, Croatia were tonight, but only slightly stronger.

“For 2026, if I’m still in charge, I’ll have more experience and maybe things will change, and in 2026 we will realise the achievement we’ve made in 2022.”

Morocco’s final match in Qatar saw a number of controversial officiating decisions, with the final whistle met by intense protests from Regragui’s players towards the referee.

Achraf Hakimi, Morocco’s star right-back, was reportedly involved in a row with FIFA president Gianni Infantino in the tunnel after the match.

It comes after the Royal Morocco Football Federation lodged a complaint to FIFA over referee Cesar Ramos’ performance during their semifinal defeat to France.

However, Regragui was keen not to focus too much on the referee’s display, while he defended his players’ behaviour after the game.

“When you lose you always get disappointed, upset,” Regragui stated. “My players are great competitors, I don’t think there was a lack of respect.

“We sometimes overreact at the end of games, it happens. We just weren’t at the level we’ve set.

“We focus on what we were lacking. We can’t hide behind the refereeing, that’s not the Moroccan way. We let the association deal with any official issues.”
