  • [Test] First UAE Astronaut in Space
    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 09/26/2019 10:58:01 AM [Test] First UAE Astronaut in Space Hagir Elawad <[email protected]> Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 10:39 AM Reply-To: Hagir Elawad <[email protected]> Good morning Colleagues, Yesterday, Hazzaa AIMansoori traveled to the International Space Station, becoming the first Emirati astronaut in space. Alongside US and Russian astronauts, he is conducting an eiaht-dav mission, during which he will carry out 15 experiments on behalf of the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center. He will also give a broadcasted tour of the ISS in Arabic for viewers on Earth. During AIMansoori’s mission, live updates will be available via the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center. “[AIMansoori and his alternate Sultan AINeyadi] would fit perfectly into any astronaut or cosmonaut core that we have already, which is really quite an achievement given that their program is so new and given the training that they've received,” said American astronaut Jessica Meir in a press conference prior to their departure. “I think for us as astronauts, the similarities are more important than the differences, and that's what's so nice when we are all working together as a team.” Next year, following AIMansoori’s mission to the ISS, the UAE plans to launch the “Hope” probe to Mars. The UAE Space Agency is collaborating with NASA to develop its space program, and last October the two agencies signed an agreement outlining opportunities for collaboration in research and manned space exploration. In addition to contributing to space science, the UAE’s space program is designed to encourage young people in the UAE and throughout the Middle East region to pursue careers in science and engineering.

  • The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the "Space Race"
    The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the "Space race" Shaul Shay October 2018 Within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the most ambitious space program has been launched by the UAE government. The UAE has expressed growing interest in space in recent years, establishing a national space agency and funding satellite projects, in addition to its planned human spaceflight program. The Dubai ruler tweeted in September 2018: "We have the region's only Mars exploration program, a fully operating satellite manufacturing capability and an astronaut program as part of our Dhs 20 billion investment in the space sector. The secret is our young Arab people and their capabilities."1 The UAE launched the National Space Program on 12 April 2017, under which the UAE will prepare Emirati cadres specialized in airspace sciences. The country’s investments in space technologies have already exceeded $5.4bn.2 The UAE's space program is based on the following institutions: The UAE Space Agency The UAE Space Agency, established in 2014 is in charge of national space programs. The agency directs national space programs, creates space policy and regulation.
