UAE new mission: Surface the moon

-

The “Explorer Rashid” team has completed the final stage of the tests, the last step separating the explorer from the launch date for the completion of the Emirates Moon Exploration Project, the first Emirati mission to the surface of the moon.

The UAE’s rover is named after the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, former Ruler of Dubai. A successful mission would make the UAE the fourth country globally to land on the moon.

The rover would land in an unexplored area called ‘Mare Frigoris’ on the moon. Also known as the ‘Sea of Cold’, Mare Frigoris lies in the far lunar north, according to Nasa. A ‘mare’ is a flat, dark plain on the lunar surface.

The mission will see the rover collect images and information that allows the UAE to study how to build a human settlement on the moon, prepare for future missions to study Mars, and provide the scientific community with answers about the solar system.

The closest we have been is to the moon and Mars, but I think that for how far along we are, what has been done is not enough.  It's time to send more robots, more astronauts, visit other planets!  Yes, I know you think I'm crazy. The last thing related to space what's up, is the planned launch of a UAE robot to the moon, I hope they send astronauts very soon too!

Astrology, often considered a mystical art, has long been used as a tool for self-reflection and personal growth. While skeptics may question its validity, astrology offers individuals a valuable means of understanding themselves, their emotions, and their relationships with others.
