A first photograph of the Mars surface was sent home by the United Arab Emirates probe, Hope, showing, among other features, Olympus Mons – the largest known volcano of our solar system. The image was sent to Earth by Hope on Wednesday, February 10, after it entered the Martian orbit a day before. The probe was at a height of almost 25,000 kilometres above the Martian surface, when it captured the volcano breaking out into a Martian sunrise. Hope is the first Arab probe in history, and among scientific observations, is stated to aim to excite the younger generation in UAE in space exploration projects.
