It also marks the first interplanetary mission to ever be launched by an Arab country. The spacecraft, which is unmanned, was sent in an effort to explore the planet’s climatic dynamics in both daily and seasonable timescales. The mission will take place for a full Martian year which amounts to 687 earth days, UAE news agency WAM reported. *Al Arabiya
