In the past five editions, more than 5,500 people have interacted in the event, getting a glimpse into Al Neyadi's life on the ISS.
Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), in partnership with the General Secretariat of Ras Al Khaimahs Executive Council, will hold the next edition of A Call from Space, an exclusive event featuring Emirati astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, in Ras Al Khaimah today, June 14, at 2 PM. The sixth instalment in the series will take place at Higher Colleges of Technology Ras Al Khaimah Womens Campus.
The event will provide invitation-only attendees from schools, universities and government entities in Ras Al Khaimah the opportunity to interact live with Al Neyadi, who is currently on the International Space Station (ISS) undertaking the longest Arab space mission in history. They will also have the chance to learn about Al Neyadis experiences and ask him questions about life in space.
Close to 5,500 people have taken part in the past five editions of the event, giving attendees a glimpse into Al Neyadis life on the ISS and the opportunity to interact with him.
Al Neyadi has been on the ISS for more than three months now, marking a significant milestone in Arab space exploration. Over the course of his mission, he has gone on to conduct several scientific experiments, performed maintenance work and even aided in the relocation of the Dragon spacecraft.
During his current mission, Al Neyadi also became the first Arab astronaut to perform a spacewalk. The spacewalk, which was performed alongside astronaut Stephen Bowen, spanned 7 hours and 1 minute and involved skilfully executing a number of preparatory tasks, which included routing power cables and laying the groundwork for the upcoming installation of the ISS Roll-Out Solar Array (iROSA).
