Hope orbiter

The Emirates Mars Mission is a planned space exploration mission to Mars set to launch the Hope orbiter in July 2020.
It was built by the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre, an Emirati space organization, as well as the University of Colorado Boulder, Arizona State University, and the University of California, Berkeley.
The probe will study daily and seasonal weather cycles, weather events in the lower atmosphere such as dust storms, and how the weather varies in different regions of Mars.
It will attempt to answer the scientific questions of why the Martian atmosphere is losing hydrogen and oxygen into space and the reason behind the drastic climate changes on Mars.
The mission is being carried out by a team of Emirati engineers in collaboration with foreign research institutions and is a contribution toward a knowledge-based economy in the UAE.
Hope is scheduled to reach Mars in February 2021, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the United Arab Emirates' formation.
It wll be launched from Tanegashima space centre, Japan.
