UAE Astronaut Makes History as First Arab to Exit the International Space Station
As the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first human mission to space, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has made history by sending its first astronaut, Hazzaa AlMansoori, to the International Space Station (ISS). On April 9, 2023, AlMansoori returned to Earth, completing a successful eight-day mission. With his return, AlMansoori has become the first Emirati to ever visit space and the first Arab to do so in over two decades. This historic achievement marks a major milestone in the UAE’s space exploration program and has given hope to Arab youth around the world.
