The Hope probe took off from the Tanegashima Space Centre in Japan, after a delay last week due to bed weather. The solid rocket booster successfully seperated from the launch vehicle, and the probe has established two- way comuneaction with the ground segment in Dubai.
The Al Amal probe, as it is called in Arabic, is expected to reach Mars by February 2021. It will be the first time the UAE has orbited the Mars, and the probe will stay in orbit for a Martian year equal to ---687 days on Earth--- to gather data about Mars atmosphere.
