UAE’S first Mars orbiter hope is ready to launch tonight at 2:21 AM IST. The biggest ray of hope for UAE’s planetary science is all set, UAE is ready to launch it’s the first interplanetary mission a Mars Orbiter, at 2:21 am IST(12:51 am UAE TIME). This mission of UAE is going to be known as EMIRATES MARS MISSION (EMM), this mission is one of the three mars mission set to launch this month.
Along with UAE’s Mars orbiter mission, NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover and China’s Tianwen-1 mission, which is already known to be a three in one combo of an orbiter, lander and rover might get launch this month later. 15 July is scheduled to launch the UAE’S hope orbiter at 12:51 am UAE and 2:51 IST from Tanegashima space centre in Japan. The UAE’S hope probe is the first interplanetary mission for Arab nations.
The Arab space agency has a long launch window that opened up yesterday and will remain open till August 12, 2020. This long window can prove as a reliable time to buffer in the case for any unsuspecting error whether technical or non-technical occur or arise. But there is one more thing to focus upon that if any error occurs or any mishappening takes place or if there will be a delay in its launch for the next five and a half weeks then they will have to bear many consequences such as they will have to wait for at least two years that is 2022.
Due to this pandemic going The Rosalind Franklin rover, a joint effort by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos), has already been postponed to 2022. So why is it important to plan any planetary work perfectly? This is because One Martian year is equal to almost two years on Earth. Once every two years on Earth, the two planets come into perfect alignment with each other around the Sun. This alignment is the ideal time for an Earth-Mars journey since it saves on time, money and fuel.
This mission’s launch will be facilitated by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Not only Japan gives this facilitation, but her Aerospace provides flight and range safety for launch. Mitsubishi plays an important role in developing the Hope Orbiter, which will be on a board H2A202 rocket. The rocket is made up of the first stage, second stage, payload fairing and a pair of Solid Rocket Boosters. The propulsion system of the launch vehicle uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
The journey of Mars orbiter will complete 493,500,000 km in 200 days to reach Mars by 2021. It is said by NASA Space Science Data Coordinated Archive that the Hope probe will enter an elliptical orbit around Mars that is roughly 22,000 x 44,000 km (nearest x farthest) in altitude, taking approximately 55 hours to complete a single orbit.
