The United Arab Emirates (UAE) set to launch its first mission to Mars on July 19, which is today. If the weather holds, the mission is set to launch at 5:58 PM EDT. The Hope Mission, also known as the Emirates Mars Mission, will launch atop a Japanese H-IIA rocket from the Tanegshima Space Center.
Anyone who likes to see rockets launching into space will be able to watch the launch here. The mission is costing the UAE $200 million, and if all goes as planned, it will arrive in Mars orbit in early 2021.
