"The successful development and launch of the Hope Probe is the result of our visionary leadership’s commitment to empowering our talented youth, investing in aerospace technology, and realising the ambition of our nation’s late Founding Father who recognised the transformational potential of the space and aviation industries," said Shareef Hashim Al Hashmi, Chief Executive Officer of Abu Dhabi Airports.
The Probe is expected to reach the Mars orbit in February 2021 coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the UAE.
