Along with the Hope Probe, the UAE’s space ambitions and its endeavours towards a knowledge-based economy have also taken flight
The Hope probe will now lift-off on July 20, 2020, at 1.58am UAE local time
The delay is due to the weather conditions at the launch site of Tanegashima Island in Japan
Broadcast of the launch will begin on Tuesday, July 14, at midnight UAE time
The Hope probe’s mission to Mars will start in mid-July 2020 from the Tanegashima Space Center, and is expected to reach the Red Planet’s orbit in the first quarter of 2021
