This week, a United Arab Emirates spacecraft, the Mars orbiter Hope, successfully entered the orbit around Earth's nearest planetary neighbor.
The probe is the first since NASA's Insight lander in November 2018 to reach the planet. The successful arrival at Mars makes the UAE the fifth nation to reach Mars, following the United States, Russia, China and India.
