Dubai: The young cadres of Emirati engineers at Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) are confident of a successful Mars orbit insertion (MOI) for Hope Probe on February 9, that will make the UAE only the fifth country or entity in the world to reach Mars.
The Mars orbit insertion (MOI) is the most challenging part of the mission, where precision is key to success. If Hope Probe goes too fast or too slow, it will either crash on Mars or widely miss its orbit and get lost in deep space. Gulf News visited the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) command centre at MBRSC in Dubai days before the MOI. The mood of the Emirati engineers, scientists and analysts can be described as a mix of excitement, guarded anxiety and cautious confidence.
