NgoJulayi 14, i-Emirates Mars probe - "Hope" noma "Al Amal" ngesi-Arabhu - ihlelelwe ukuthi isuke eTanegashima Space Center yaseJapan futhi iqale uhambo lwezinyanga eziyisikhombisa ukuya eRed Planet. Uphenyo kulindeleke ukuthi lungene emzileni we-Mars ngo-2021, okuhambisana nokugubha iminyaka engu-50 kwe-UAE. Lo mgomo uzonikela ngolwazi olubalulekile emphakathini wasemkhathini womhlaba wonke futhi ufakazele ukuthi i-UAE, isizwe esisha esinohlelo olusanda kwakhiwa lokuhlola indawo, ingafinyelela le mpumelelo ngokubeka phambili i-ajenda yesayensi ethuthukisiwe.
Ezinsukwini ngaphambi kwalokhu kususwa okuyingqopha-mlando, abaholi ababili abaphula imigoqo, uNgqongqoshe Wezobuchwepheshe Othuthukile wase-UAE kanye nePhini Lomphathi Wephrojekthi ye-Emirates Mars Mission. USarah Al Amiri futhi UDkt Ellen Stofan, uMqondisi we-Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum kanye nalowo owayeyiChief Scientist we-NASA, banikeze le mibono Isizathu “Sethemba,” isiqephu sesithathu se I-Podbridge, uchungechunge olusha lwe-podcast oluqaliswe Inxusa lase-UAE futhi lusingathwa ngu Inxusa le-UAE ku- US Yousef Al Otaiba.
Imenyezelwe okokuqala ngo-2014, i-Emirates Mars Mission imele isiphetho sohlelo olusha lokudluliswa kolwazi nokuthuthukiswa phakathi kwe-UAE nabalingane bamazwe ngamazwe. Ukusebenza eduze nezikhungo zemfundo zase-US ezifana University of Colorado, IYunivesithi yaseCalifornia-Berkeley futhi Arizona State University, Ososayensi base-Emirati baqedele ukuhlola komkhathi wokuqala emhlabeni wama-Arab ngenkathi bebeka izisekelo zomkhakha wokuhlola indawo esimeme futhi oguquguqukayo e-UAE.
“Eminyakeni eyisithupha emifushane, uhlelo lwe-Emirates Mars Mission seludale imboni entsha eguqula umphakathi wesayensi we-UAE,” kusho. Ungqongqoshe Wezobuchwepheshe obuthuthukile wase-UAE USarah Al Amiri. “Ngokwesekwa ochwepheshe abaningi bamazwe ngamazwe, sithathe ugqozi futhi sakuguqula lokho kwaba ngokoqobo ngokuthuthukisa ithalente nobuchule basekhaya, sibe sitshala imali emanyuvesi nasezilabhorethri ezisezingeni eliphezulu. I-Hope probe manje ihlezi phezu kwerokhethi elungele ukwethulwa, igcwalisa isithembiso se-UAE sokuya kuMars.”
“Kuyajabulisa ngendlela emangalisayo ukuthi ukuhlola umkhathi akugcini nje emazweni ambalwa anesipiliyoni seminyaka eminingi kulo mkhakha,” kusho. UDkt Ellen Stofan, Umqondisi weNational Air and Space Museum. “Sidinga ukubambisana komphakathi wesayensi womhlaba wonke futhi lokho kudinga ukukhuliswa kwethalente lomhlaba wonke. Isikhala akusona esezwe elilodwa, kodwa ngesethu sonke. NjengoSosayensi Omkhulu wangaphambili e-NASA, ngazibonela ngawami ukukhula okumangalisayo kohlelo lwe-UAE kanye ne-Emirates Mars Mission isenzakalo esiyingqopha-mlando okufanele basishayele ihlombe abalandeli bohambo lwasemkhathini emhlabeni wonke.”
Ngesikhathi sephodikasti, uNgqongqoshe Al Amiri futhi uDkt. Stofan wakhuluma ngemisebenzi yabo njengabagijimi besifazane emsebenzini owawugcwele abesilisa futhi banikeza iseluleko entsheni eshiseka isayensi nomkhathi.
“Kuwo wonke amantombazane amancane, ungalinge uvumele noma ubani ukuthi athi awukwazi ukuzuza ubukhulu. Hlala etafuleni lapho kuthathwa khona izinqumo futhi ungavumeli muntu ukuthi athi awuyena owakho. Kwabesifazane abasebasha base-Emirati, bheka USarah Al Amiri njengesibonelo nogqozi,” kusho UDkt. Stofan. Kungeziwe uNgqongqoshe Al Amiri, “Kubo bonke abesifazane abasebasha abaphishekela umsebenzi wesayensi nobuchwepheshe, sebenzisa amandla akho angaphakathi, sebenzisa amathuba aphambi kwakho, futhi ngalolo lwazi, uzodala ushintsho oluzoguqula umhlaba.”
Ngo 2019, Hazza Al Mansouri, usomkhathi wokuqala we-UAE, waqala umkhankaso oyingqopha-mlando wokuya ku-International Space Station. Ephakathi kwe-ISS, wenze izivivinyo ezihlukahlukene egameni le-Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre, wenzela ozakwabo isidlo sakusihlwa sase-Emirati, futhi wanikeza ukuvakasha esiteshini esisakazwa ngababukeli basekhaya.
Kulesi siqephu sePodbridge, Inxusa le-UAE ku- US Yousef Al Otaiba kwaxoxwa naye Hazza Al Mansouri, ochaze umuzwa omkhulu wokuzigqaja nempumelelo ekhiqizwe i-UAE National Space Programme.
“Eminyakeni ecishe ibe ngu-60 edlule, Mongameli John Kennedy wethula inkulumo yakhe edumile yokudutshulwa kwenyanga futhi wathatha umcabango womhlaba,” Ambassador Al Otaiba kusho. “Namuhla e-UAE, lawo mandla kanye nokumangala kusekhona njengoba kuzoqalwa uphenyo lwe-Hope. I-Emirates Mars Mission igqugquzela isizukulwane esisha sentsha yama-Arab ukuthi ihlole imisebenzi yesayensi nobuchwepheshe, futhi ivule imingcele emisha okungenzeka yesifunda sethu.”
Ihhovisi leNxusa le-UAE Washington, DC izophatha iphathi yokubuka okubonakalayo yokwethulwa okungokomlando okuhleliwe kwe-Emirates Mars Mission. Eceleni kokusakaza bukhoma kwephedi yokwethulwa, ochwepheshe abavela emikhakheni yasemkhathini yase-US kanye ne-UAE bazoxoxa ngezinjongo ze-Mission kanye nokubaluleka okubanzi komkhumbi-mkhathi wokuqala emhlabeni wama-Arab. Buka umcimbi bukhoma 3:30 ntambama EDT on July 14 nge-Embassy ye-UAE YouTube ikhasi.
USarah Al Amiri uqanjwe njengosihlalo wesifazane we-UAE Space Agency kanye noNgqongqoshe Wezobuchwepheshe Okuthuthukile, osebenza ngempumelelo August 2020. USarah Al Amiri uqokwe njengoNgqongqoshe Wezifundazwe Wezesayensi Ezithuthukile ku October 2017. Izibopho zakhe zihlanganisa ukuthuthukisa iminikelo yesayensi ephakeme ekuthuthukisweni kwe-UAE kanye nomnotho wayo. U-Sarah futhi uyiPhini Lomphathi Wephrojekthi kanye Nomholi Wesayensi ku-Emirates Mars Mission, lapho ehola khona ithimba elithuthukisa futhi ligcwalisa izinjongo zesayensi ze-Mission, imigomo, izinsimbi kanye nezinhlelo zokuhlaziya.
UDkt Ellen Stofan unguMqondisi kaJohn no-Adrienne Mars we-Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. UStofan waqala ukungena April 2018 futhi ungowesifazane wokuqala ukuphatha lesi sikhundla. UStofan ufika esikhundleni esenolwazi lweminyaka engaphezu kwengu-25 ezinhlanganweni ezihlobene nomkhathi kanye nesizinda socwaningo olujulile ku-geology yeplanethi. Wayengusosayensi omkhulu e-NASA (2013-16), esebenza njengomeluleki oyinhloko ku-Administration yangaphambili. UCharles Bolden ekuhleleni amasu e-NASA nezinhlelo.
