UAE Mars Mission 2020

Scientists believe that “ Once Mars too had an atmosphere just like Earth and had all the elements like water, other essentials ” a few million years ago. But something happened, which turned the Mars into a dusty planet what we see today. So they believe, studying Mars can help us in understanding the atmosphere and climate formation of our planet Earth.

What is Hope Mars Mission 2020?

The Emirates Mars Mission "Hope Probe (heavy satellite)" it will be the first satellite that will provide the full information about the Atmosphere of Mars and will give full analysis about the Climate of the Mars. It will help answer key questions about the loss of hydrogen and oxygen gases into space over the span of one Martian year. One Martian year is equal to the 687 days on the earth.

                       

Question:-“There were many heavy satellite missions to Mars, which can give a weather report then what is the specialty of this ?”

Answer:- Most of the Mars mission heavy satellites will take the information about the weather for only a few days and with regular intervals which are too long, and study only a part of the mars. And this data won’t be sufficient to know about the second-smallest planet in the solar system. This satellite is designed to study the whole planet, this study helps in making changes in the Manned missions to Mars.

Hope has a much deeper meaning, than what we think this mission was announced by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates, in July 2014. the main aim of this mission is that it is the first Mars space mission that was taken by UAE, If successful, it would become the first mission to Mars by any West Asian, Arab or Muslim majority country. This gives hope and new opportunities to the Arab people in space exploration. And the data collected from the probe will be share with more than 200 universities around the world.

The name Hope was chosen because "it sends a message of optimism to millions of young Arabs", according to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Ruler of the emirate of Dubai for whom the lead space centre, the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), of the United Arab Emirates is named.
