The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center, MBRSC, has sorted out a 'Science In Space' workshop, where students had the chance to direct examinations that a space explorer would actualize on board the International Space Station, ISS.

The workshop was a piece of the Science in Space rivalry, led as a team with NanoRacks LLC, and activity of the UAE Astronaut Program, where schools could apply to lead logical tests that review the effect of microgravity.

It bolstered the goals of the first Emirati space explorer's logical mission to the ISS, on 25 September 2019.

The two-day workshops were gone to by Yousuf Hamad Al Shaibani, Director-General of MBRSC, and Salem Al Marri, Assistant Director-General for the Science and Technology Sector, and Head of UAE Astronaut Program.

Hazzaa Al Mansoori, the prime space explorer, and Sultan Al Neyadi, the back-up space traveler for the logical mission to the ISS, went to the workshops which incorporated a board exchange with the space travelers, where they responded to inquiries from the students.

The educational outreach group of the UAE Astronaut Program in the MBRSC close by a group from NanoRacks LLC disclosed how to lead logical analyses in the ISS in a microgravity domain.

MBRSC chose 15 out of 150 schools who connected for the challenge, from over the UAE. Each school group comprised of four students and an instructor.

“The first Arab and Emirati astronaut’s scientific mission to ISS is a historic event for the UAE’s space sector and the entire region. It is essential that Emirati students take part in this journey and contribute to the scientific experiments,” Al Shaibani said.

“The results of the astronaut’s experiments will be sent to Earth by NanoRacks to compare them with the results of parallel experiments conducted on-ground by students in the UAE, to compare the two environments,” Al Marri added.
