The UAE aims to establish the first inhabitable human settlement on Mars by 2117. H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid said that the project is a seed that the UAE plants today and expects future generations to reap the benefits, driven by its passion to learn to unveil a new knowledge.
He issued directives to Mohammad Bin Rashid Space Centre to lead the Mars 2117 project and prepare a 100-year plan for its implementation.
In July 2020, the UAE became the first Arab nation to launch a mission to Mars. Alongside a livestream of the launch pad, experts from the US and UAE space sectors discussed the Mission’s goals and the broader significance of the Arab world’s first interplanetary spacecraft.
