UAE Sends Rocket to Mars

Today is August 24th, 2020. The news today is UAE Sends Rocket to Mars.

Level 1

The United Arab Emirates sends a rocket to the planet Mars. Only a few countries send rockets to Mars. The United Arab Emirates is the first country from the Arab world that does it.

The ship’s name is ´Hope´. No crew(船员) is on board the ship. The ship will study the weather on Mars. Other ships do this before.

However, this mission(任务) is different. It is longer than other missions. It will take a full Martian(火星的) year. One Martian year lasts 687 Earth days.

Mars is 38 million miles away from Earth. The ship will get to Mars in February next year.

Level 2

Last week, The United Arab Emirates(UAE) sent a rocket to Mars. The UAE became one of a few countries that started a successful mission to Mars. Also, it was the first space mission from the Arab world.

The ship is called ´Hope´, and the UAE launched(发射) it on Sunday morning from Japan. There is no crew on board. The ship will go around Mars and it will study the planet´s weather for a full year, which lasts 687 Earth days. Such a long mission is not usual because past missions studied the planet only for a short time and only at some time of the day.

The journey to Mars is 38 million miles long, and scientists expect the ship to get to the planet in February next year.

Level 3

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the latest country to successfully launch a spacecraft to Mars.

The unmanned(无人的) ship called ´Hope´ was launched on Sunday morning from Japan, and it is the first space mission from the UAE and the Arab world. The plan is to orbit Mars to study the planet´s weather for a full Martian year, which lasts 687 Earth days.

It is the first time that scientists will get a chance to study the planet´s atmosphere at different times of the day at different seasons. According to Omran Sharaf, the Emirates Mars Mission Project director, previous Mars missions studied the atmosphere for a specific time of the day at a specific season, which makes the current mission unique(特别的).

The ship is expected to make the 38-million-mile journey to Mars by February next year.
