The Emirates Mars Exploration Project, the “Probe of Hope”, over the course of 3 years, since its launch on July 20, 2020, has achieved all of its scientific goals, which were implemented with high efficiency. New data, Her Excellency Sarah Al-Amiri, Minister of State for Public Education and Advanced Technology, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Space Agency, said: “We celebrate the passage of a new year in the march of the Hope Probe to study Mars, which contributed to a qualitative leap and a major shift in the field of space exploration locally, regionally and globally, to assure us that ambition and determination can achieve the impossible.” A promising future, where ambitions are translated into a bright reality that lays the foundation for achieving ambitions for the next fifty years. And she explained: «Over the course of this year, the probe succeeded, with unprecedented accuracy, in revealing a series of new data for the smaller Martian moon Deimos, which was captured using its three scientific devices during its passage to the closest point to the moon at a distance of only regarding 100 km, to prove the exclusion of one of the oldest theories indicating that the moon Deimos is considered in its origin an asteroid that was attracted to the orbit of the Red Planet, and confirms that it is likely to have its origin from Mars and not an asteroid as previously assumed, in a new historical achievement. Great efforts and she continued: “We cannot forget the great efforts made by the scientific team that worked on this difficult and complex task, as they are the creative and sincere minds that contributed to the success of this project and made it a symbol of cooperation and scientific development in planetary exploration.” Her Excellency thanked the leadership that supported this success and harnessed all capabilities to achieve it so that it would be an inspiring story for the whole world, reminding us that when efforts unite and head towards a common goal, the dream turns into a reality and a reality that the current generations live and that future generations are proud of. An important tributary, Salem Butti Salem Al Qubaisi, Director General of the Emirates Space Agency, said that the Hope Probe is passing through a new year full of achievements and successes, as today it represents an important tributary for the international scientific community with a lot of data and accurate observations regarding the atmosphere of Mars, to contribute to expanding our scientific knowledge and improving our understanding of the Red Planet and its environment and its multiple resources, adding that every step in our journey into space was full of challenges and difficulties, but that did not deter us from pursuing our ambitious vision to explore deep space and plan a deeper and more journey. Difficulty in the Emirates mission to explore the upcoming asteroid belt. International cooperation He added that when we look at the Red Planet through the scientific devices of the Hope Probe and during its extended journey, we remember that science and discovery are the hope of mankind towards a more sustainable future for our planet and our civilization, pointing out that the role of the Hope Probe is not only manifested in collecting scientific data and information regarding Mars, but it also carries a deeper and more human message, a message that invites us to communicate and cooperate across borders for a deeper understanding of the universe and building a better world for all.
