Photograph of Mars taken during the Arab mission by the Al Amal spacecraft 🇦🇪

✔️The spacecraft should answer questions about what the Martian atmosphere consists of, what layers it contains and how quickly it leaves the planet.

According to scientists, the information obtained will allow to better interpret the past and future of our own planet, as well as to assess the possibility of creating settlements outside the Earth.
