National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has congratulated the UAE on the launch of the Emirates Mars Mission from the Tanegashima Space Centre in Japan, describing the mission as culmination of tremendous hard work and dedication.



The United Arab Emirate successfully launched its Mars-bound Hope Probe on Monday, marking the Arab world's first interplanetary mission -- and the first of three international missions to the Red Planet this summer.



''On behalf of NASA, I congratulate our friends in the United Arab Emirates on the launch of the Emirates Mars Mission, Hope. Today marks the culmination of tremendous hard work, focus, and dedication, as well as the beginning of the UAE's journey to Mars with the ultimate goal of human habitation of the Red Planet. This mission is aptly named since it's a symbol of inspiration for the UAE, the region, and the world,'' said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine in his message of congratulations.
