UAE Mission 2

Emirati astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi and his Crew-6 team are minutes away from lift-off as they set to embark on a six-month mission aboard the International Space Station.

Space X have confirmed that all systems are looking good and weather conditions are 95 per cent favourable ahead of launch. 

A technical fault discovered just minutes before the original scheduled launch caused the flight to be postponed on Monday.
