UAE - Mubasher: The UAE Space Agency and the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), in collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, have postponed the liftoff of the Hope probe for the second time due to continued unstable weather conditions in Japan.

The launch of Hope probe, the first Arab mission to Mars, was delayed from Friday, 17 July, to another day this month, which will be announced in the next 24 hours, the UAE government announced.

It is noteworthy to mention that on Tuesday, 14 July, the UAE rescheduled the launch of the Emirates Mars Mission to 17 July instead of 15 July, due to weather conditions around the launchpad at Japan’s Tanegashima Space Centre.
