Astronauts study national rocks
Emirati astronauts Dr. Sultan AlNeyadi, Hazza Al Mansouri, Mohammed AlMulla, and Noura AlMatroushi successfully completed a two-week geological training program with the United Arab Emirates University. The training included field trips to Al Ain, Hatta, Fujairah, and Al Wathba. The goal of the program was to study local rocks that resemble the environments of the Moon and Mars, in preparation for future exploratory missions to these planets. The experience demonstrated how analyzing rocks and minerals reveals the history of a location and provides astronauts with practical knowledge related to external environments, thereby enhancing their readiness for outer space exploration.
