The United Arab Emirates has launched a spacecraft which is now in orbit around mars. It’s the Arab World’s first interplanetary mission.
The space crafted recently reached the end of its nearly seven month, 300-million mile journey. The space craft is called Amal. Which is Arabic for hope.
Two more unmanned spacecraft from the US and China are set to arrive at mars soon.
All three missions were launched in July to take advantage of the close alignment of earth and mars.
