this one launching from japan, the united arab emirates. this one was china's mission to mars. e last to launch last summer, was ours from the united states. the reason they all want last summer, they all went at roughly the same time has to do with the optimal alignment between earth and mars if you are trying to launch something from earth to mars. if any of those three missions had failed to launch last summer, they really wouldn't get another good chance for the next couple of years. but they all made it up. because they all launched successfully, now they are all getting to mars at the same time, so we are very another traffic jam this week. amal started sending pictures back to earth this week. china's orbiter has entered mars orbit and will start looking for water. they will try to send down a lander to the surface of mars and from the lander they will try to send out a rover. as for us, what we're doing on mars is happening tomorrow. it is nervous making and exciting. back in 2012, we first attempted to drop the curiosity rover, which is like a car-sized vehicle weighing

united arab emirates. their payload is an orbiter called "amal," which in english means hope. this one was china'ssion to mars. this one, the last to launch last summer, was ours from the united states. the reason they all went last summer, they all went at roughly the same time has to do with the optimal alignment between earth and mars, if you're trying to launch something from earth to mars. these launch windows happen roughly every couple of years, so if any of those three missions had failed to launch last summer, they wouldn't get another good chance for another couple of years. but they all made it. they all made it up. and because they all launched successfully at the same time last summer, now they are all getting to mars at roughly the same time, so we are having another traffic jam, this week. the uae's "amal" is right now in orbit around mars, collecting weather data. it started sending pictures back to earth this week. china's orbiter has entered mars' orbit and will start looking for water. the second part of the chinese mission happens in a few months when they will try to send down

the orbiter from the united arab emirate s due to arrive first tomorrow, then a rover from china lesss rover due next thursday the uae and china are newcomers to big red and the timing is no coincidence, all three crafts left earth last july within days of one another during an earth to mars launch window that opens every two years. >>> and 50 years ago saturday astronaut alan shepard teed off from that tricky 18th hole nearly a quarter million miles from earth history has alan shepard shanking the first shot. he himself said the second shot went miles and miles and miles >>> and an imaging specialist working with the united states golfing association has narrowed that down a little bit the specialist analyzing remastered photos of the site has spotted the ball and determined the first shot flew 24 yards while the second traveled 40 yards. >>> 55 seconds left on a race to the finish, the head of the cdc is warning mutant strains of covid could reverse the recent drop in cases and hospitalizations the feds say the more contagious variant first detected in the united kingdom has now spr

in pole position, the united arab emirates' first interplanetary probe hope arrived in orbit on tuesday, met by huge celebrations in the region. close behind was china'srney to another planet. and while the uae�*s probe will only orbit mars, china's will detach a lander and a rover to head down to the surface in may. and finally, on the 18th of february, nasa's perseverance rover will attempt to make a daring landing. but landing the rover is a massive undertaking and so much needs to go right. this is what is known as the �*seven minutes of terror�*. the spacecraft will hit the top of the martian atmosphere at 12,000 miles per hour, but it needs to come to a complete stop and then lower the rover gently onto the ground just seven minutes later — and all completely autonomously. but to find out more about all of these missions, i spoke to elizabeth seward, airbus defence and space's senior space strategist. so we've got three spacecraft all getting to mars at pretty much the same time. why is that? so as mars and the earth orbit around the sun, you can imagine them like racers on a racetrack. earth is the inside and it's going quite fast and mars is t

road was due to arrive in just over a week china's mission should get there before that but 1st to add to masses should be. a hope probe said by united arab emirates. the u.a.e. probe is called out or hope it's been traveling between earth and mars for the past 6 months it enters mars orbit on tuesday. this is either going to work or it's not going to work there's nothing in between it's not a spectrum of success now they could only wait and see if the mission goes according to plan. the miry leads the u.a.e. mars mission the 34 year old is one of 70 women on the emirates team that developed the probe the u.a.e. government which provided $200000000.00 to launch the project wants to inspire more women to go into science. we need to have a greater risk appetite to be able to work in areas that is considered quite challenging specially when it's the transformation of your economy to be based on science and technology the emirates oil reserves are dwindling with only enough oil left for a few decades so the u.a.e. are no developing their image in the fields of science and technology this has allowed our researchers and scientists to get to 2.2 other a
