The first Arab space mission to Mars blasted off Monday aboard a rocket from Japan, after weather delays set back the launch of the probe dubbed"Hope."
Five minutes after launch, the rocket carrying the probe was on course, carrying out the first separation of its flight. The UAE also wants the project to serve as a source of inspiration for Arab youth, in a region too often wracked by sectarian conflicts and economic crises.That's when the real excitement will begin, UAE Mars mission's deputy project manager Sarah al-Amiri told AFP before the launch.
The drive to explore Mars flagged until the confirmation less than 10 years ago that water once flowed on its surface.
