The United Arab Emirates has a begun to build its space program and has already launched a successful mission to Mars.

LYRICS:

From the sands where the Bedouin and Muslim nomads roamed
A national initiative where engineers and science found a home
In a land where the desert sky allows one to navigate by stars
The first interplanetary mission from this country went to Mars

UAE has a mission to the Red Planet
And that Martian probe is called the Hope!


The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center was where the plans were laid
The science lead Sarah Al Amiri was the one who led the way
A humble but ambitious way to lead a nation’s critical campaign
A reminder to the Arab world that they can lead in science once again

UAE has a mission to the Red Planet
Emirates doing science ‘round the Red Planet
And that probe will give the region Hope!


So it launched in July 2020 from Japan
(Lucky the pandemic didn’t cause a launch delay)
Filling gaps in our understanding of the Martian climate is the plan
(Building off the work that MAVEN still sends back today)
The myst’ries of this planet’s water hist’ry won’t be hidden very far
(Orbiting much higher than the ones that came before)
Someday Arabs will be roaming on this crimson desert planet ‘neath the stars
(And that Martian probe is called the...)

UAE has a mission to the Red Planet
Emirates doing science ‘round the Red Planet
Studying the evolution of the Red Planet
And it gives humanity some Hope!

UAE's Hope (مسبار الأمل) (A Folk Song in Phrygian Dominance)

“Zero Gravity" is the 2nd single of Dr Chrispy's upcoming EP, which contains songs about his lifelong pursuit and advocacy for space exploration. This song and its accompanying music video contrast the experiences of space travelers with those of their loved ones who are left behind. The video also features breathtaking, never-before-seen footage of a Blue Origin spaceflight, and the crew members experiencing weightlessness in space.
