Dubai: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) launched a spacecraft named 'Hope' seven months ago, which has successfully reached to Mars orbit and became the first Arab country to reach the Red Planet on Tuesday evening.
The UAE made history by becoming the first Arab country and fifth globally as its space agency joined an elite club of five that have sent a spacecraft to the Mars.
The official twitter handle of 'Hope Mars Mission' shared the news and wrote,"7 years of work crowned with success! The Hope Probe is now in Mars' orbit".
