UAE-China sign agreement for joint moon mission in future

 

UAE-China

UAE and China ink an agreement to launch a future lunar mission together. MBRSC and CNSA have now signed an MoU. The two nations' first joint space project would be this.

 In accordance with the arrangement, a rover from the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center (MBRSC) will be dropped out on the surface of the moon in a module provided by the Chinese National Space Agency (CNSA).

 Notably, the United Arab Emirates will launch its first lunar rover in November.

 The "Rashid" rover, named after the ruling family of Dubai, will be launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida some time between November 9 and November 15, according to Hamad Al Marzooqi, a state-affiliated newspaper. The precise date would be revealed the next month, he said.

 In March, a Japanese ispace lander will place the rover on the moon once it has been launched atop a Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket.

 Al Marzooqi was cited as saying, "We've done with the testing of the rover and we are delighted with the results. "The lander and rover have been integrated, and it is ready for launch."

 The UAE's larger plan to take a leading role in space exploration includes the lunar expedition. If the moon mission is successful, the UAE and Japan will become the fourth country after the United States, Russia, and China to land a spacecraft on the moon's surface.

 An Emirati spacecraft has already been placed in orbit around Mars to examine its atmosphere. That probe was launched by the UAE in collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan, swinging into Mars' orbit in February 2021.

 The Rashid rover will investigate the lunar surface, lunar surface mobility, and the interactions of various surfaces with lunar particles. Two high-resolution cameras, a tiny camera, a thermal imaging camera, a probe, and other tools will be carried by the 10-kilogram (22-pound) rover.

 To provide high-resolution satellite imagery, the UAE intends to build the most cutting-edge commercial satellite in the Middle East. It has also established the challenging objective of establishing a human settlement on Mars by 2117.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
