UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi holds talks with UAE media from ISS

The first Emirati long-duration astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi holds a second session of remote talks from the International Space Station (ISS), this time with United Arab Emirates media organisations, on Tuesday, March 21. It follows a similar session with the country’s leadership. The Crew-6 mission, launched on March 2, made the UAE only the 11th country in the world to send astronauts on a long-term mission to space. Al Neyadi will personally conduct at least 20 experiments during the six-month mission, as well as carrying out other tasks and conducting maintenance work on the ISS.
