UAE's ‘Hope Probe’ successfully enters orbit around Mars

The United Arab Emirates' first Mars mission arrived near the red planet on Tuesday and successfully entered orbit on its first attempt itself. The Emirates Mars Mission, known as the Hope Probe, sent back a signal confirming that it is in the orbit.
"Success! Contact with #HopeProbe has been established again. The Mars Orbit Insertion is now complete," according to a tweet from the mission's Twitter account at 11:16 a.m. Eastern Time.
The UAE Space Agency began live coverage of Hope's arrival on February 9, beginning at 10 a.m. ET on its website.
When the spacecraft arrived, the Hope Probe marked the UAE as only the fifth country in history to reach the red planet and a first for the Arab world. The ambitions of the mission don't stop there.
The probe, along with its three scientific instruments, is expected to create the first complete portrait of the Martian atmosphere. The instruments will collect different data points on the atmosphere to also gauge seasonal and daily changes.
