Mohammed Al Mulla-Naura Al Matroshi
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Saturday announced the names of two astronauts for its space programs. It is to be noted here that the UAE has also announced the name of the first female astronaut of Arab countries. The names of these two astronauts were announced on Twitter by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.
Al Maktoum said that Noura al-Matroushi will be the country’s first female astronaut. The second astronaut’s name is Mohammed al-Mulla. A government promotional video told that Al Mataroshi, born in 1993, is an engineer with the National Petroleum Construction Company based in Abu Dhabi. The government said that Mullah was born in 1988 and is a pilot in the Dubai Police. He leads the training unit of Dubai Police.
Al Mataroshi has the chance to become the first Arabic woman to go into space
These two astronauts were selected from over 4,000 applicants in the UAE. Both will undergo training at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, USA. The UAE government said that if Al Mataroshi’s space journey is successful, she will be the first Arabic woman to go to space. In the year 2019, Hazza al-Mansoori became the first person of the UAE to go into space. He was at the International Space Station for an eight-day mission.
This person is the first Muslim to go into space
Iranian-American telecommunications entrepreneur and Dallas millionaire Anusheh Ansari is the first Muslim woman and the first Iranian to go into space. He flew to the International Space Station in 2006, spending money himself. He spent US $ 20 million (about Rs. 146 crores) for his journey. At the same time, the first Muslim to go to space is Prince Sultan bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, who participated in the shuttle Discovery’s 1985 space trip. Let us know that UAE has many ambitious space related plans. He wants to send unmanned aircraft to the moon by 2024.
