The Astronaut of the United Emirates, Sultan Al Neyadi, has once again placed his name in history books, becoming the first Arab astronaut to walk in space.
He left the International Space Station on Friday, along with a NASA colleague, to begin a maintenance mission of more than six hours.
Al Neyadi and his colleague will perform several missions during their time outside the International Space Station.
We're counting the clocks back until we cross the airline into space. I will soon take the first space walk in the Arab world. Wish us luck!”, he tweeted.
41-year-old, otherwise named “Space Sultan” made history on March 2nd, becoming the first Arab to join a long-term space mission that will last six months as part of SpaceX's crew.
The mission is a historic reference point for these countries, which have invested the team to continue the space mission.
Alneyadi is the second man from the United Arab Emirates to go into space, following the eight-day HSzaa al-Mansori mission in 2019.
The United Arab Emirates have recently begun exploring space, but have begun to leave a mark on this field.
