SpaceX launched four astronauts to the International Space Station for NASA on Thursday, including the first person from the Arab world going up for an extended monthslong stay
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — .
Half a world away in Dubai and elsewhere across the UAE, schools and offices broadcast the launch live. The first attempt to launch them was called off Monday at the last minute because of a clogged filter in the engine ignition system.NASA’s space operations mission chief, Kathy Lueders, said Thursday’s launch enhanced a night sky already showcasing a conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. The two planets have appeared side by side all week, seeming to grow ever closer.The space station newcomers will replace a U.S.-Russian-Japanese crew that has been up there since October.
The UAE’s minister for public education and advanced technology, Sarah al-Amiri, said the long mission “provides us a new venue for science and scientific discovery for the country.” Saudi Prince Sultan bin Salman was the first Arab in space, launching aboard shuttle Discovery in 1985. He was followed two years later by Syrian astronaut Muhammed Faris, launched by Russia. Both were in space for about a week.
