An Emirati team will plan, manage and implement the probe project by applying their collected skills and patience to this ‘Hope Probe’ project. The project is supervised by the UAE Space Agency, however the probe is being developed by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), in alliance with international partners.
The ‘Hope Probe’ will gather and bring back more than 1000 gigabytes of New Mars data back to Earth. This information will then be received by the Science Data Centre (UAE) which will be extended around the world.
