Dubai: UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, who is preparing for a long-duration space mission, has completed the last round of training before the mission. Neyadi himself informed regarding this through a tweet.
Completed training last week. The UAE flag wall at Labaratti made training with fellow travelers even more beautiful. Can’t thank the officers, administrators and engineers here enough, Neyadi wrote on Twitter.
He trained at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory. Sultan Al Neyadi will depart for the ISS on February 26 for a six-month mission. Sultan will be launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket. Fellow travelers are Stephen Bowen, Warren Hoberg, and Andrey Fedayev.
After staying in space for 6 months and conducting research experiments, Neyadi will return with important scientific truths. 250 research experiments will be conducted during this period and will include deep experiments as part of the UAE astronaut program. Neyadi will conduct around 20 trials for various universities in the UAE. The UAE Astronaut project aims to establish the country’s infrastructure for space exploration.
The returning Sultan Al Neyadi will be responsible for developing the skills of indigenous astronauts and training them to work in the International Space Station. Sultan Al Neyadi will also serve as a flight engineer at the space station. In the first mission held in 2019, Hasa Al Mansoori spent 8 days at the space station and returned successfully.
