When will Hope arrive at Mars?
At the time of writing, Hope is little more than 63,000 kilometres away from the Red Planet, according to a live tracker from the UAE Space Agency.
However, with the craft travelling at more than 70,000 kilometres per hour, its distance from Mars is changing rapidly.
The probe is also slowing down as it gears up for its descent, and will arrive at the orbit of Mars in a matter of hours.
