Emirates Mars Mission: Where and how to watch the launch

With hours left for the UAE's historic mission to Mars to take off, here's where you can watch the launch live.

The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre will livestream the lift-off from the Tanegashima Space Centre in Japan at 1:58 am on Monday. You can also watch on www.emm.ae/live.

That's not all. All websites of the Arabian Radio Network radio stations will also livestream the historic moment. 

The Probe will travel 493.5 million km over seven months to reach Mars’ orbit in February 2021, coinciding with the UAE’s Golden Jubilee celebrations to mark the historic union of the Emirates.

With just over 9 hours until launch, the final checks have been made for the rocket carrying the #UAE Hope Probe to Mars - checking operational conditions of launch vehicle, satellites, and tracking & control systems, as well as weather conditions.@HopeMarsMission pic.twitter.com/gWi5J9xkjJ
