The UAE has set the target of launching humans into space every three to five years.
That's according to the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre, which aims to be a frontrunner in the trillion-dollar space economy by 2040.
To date, the Emirates has achieved significant milestones in space exploration, including the first Arab astronaut's spacewalk and successful missions to Mars.
The country's investments and collaborations have propelled it to the forefront of the global space industry with satellite programmes, interplanetary missions and astronaut training initiatives advancing scientific knowledge and fostering innovation.
The achievements have also contributed to the growth of the UAE's economy and established the country as a notable player in commercial space services.
