Emirati Astronaut Hazza Al Mansoori is set to visit the International Space Station next week, making him the first Arab to visit the station, and guess what? He’ll be answering questions from the public in space. He’ll be taking four calls from Earth, each lasting between 17 and 20 minutes, during his eight-day visit to the ISS from 25 September till 3 October.
A historic journey to space, a new challenge and a fresh frontier – all powered by the will & ambition of the UAE…

During his stay, Hazza will conduct 16 scientific experiments alongside his team consisting of Russian Commander, Oleg Skripochka and NASA Astronaut, Jessica Mier. An accomplishment that’s truly out of this world.
