The first Arab space mission is preparing to launch within weeks, and the fuel tank will begin to be filled in next week.
The journey takes seven months to travel 493 million km to reach Mars, rotate in its orbit, then send new pioneering data about its climate and the atmosphere surrounding it..
The probe will continue to revolve around Mars for a year Mars, or 687 days, to collect enough data.
It takes the probe to complete for one full cycle 55 hours.
The president of the program, Sarah Al -Amiri, said at the Monday conference, that the project will be a great incentive for Arab young scientists to start work in the field of space engineering.

The probe, which will be uninterrupted, was called "Amal", and will be launched from the remote Japanese island of Tangashima on July 14.
In the probe, which will carry it to space a Japanese missile, will be three types of remote sensors to measure the complex components of the atmosphere of Mars.Among them is a high -resolution camera and multiple ranges, to measure dust and ozone on the planet.
As for the second sensor, it is the infrared, which measures the upper and lower atmosphere, which was developed by the University of Arizona, one of the American universities in the project.
The third device is a over-purple ripot to measure oxygen and hydrogen levels.
Sarah Al -Amiri said that among the focus on the task that these two elements leak, important to the presence of water, from the planet.
Sir Ian Platford, director of the British Science Museum Group, pointed out that "many space missions focused on the geological side, but this mission will provide us with a comprehensive college image of the Mars climate.".
The UAE has a record of travel to space.She sent two missiles to the Earth's orbit, and sent one of its pioneers to the International Space Station.
The first Arab astronaut was the Saudi Prince Sultan bin Salman, who was one of the astronauts in an American shuttle launched in 1985.
But this probe is completely different.
It was built in the UAE, and he was shipped to Japan, where all its engineers were placed upon their arrival in a healthy stone because of the Corona virus epidemic, which was threatening to delay the launch.
Monica Gredi, a professor of space science and planets at the British Open University, believes that this Mars mission will make a major change in the field, which was previously controlled by the Great Worlds of the World.
She said: "It is a real step towards exploring Mars, because it turns out that another nations, other than the European Space Agency and people can actually go there - and we hope to reach there, because Mars has a long history of failed missions.".
The leaders of the Emirati project mentioned the world of Arab inventors who were leading the field of scientific exploration eight centuries ago.
The ruler of Dubai, one of the seven Emirates that make up the state, hopes that this ambitious project will again provide a sense of cultural pride, and to help the region in diversity that reduces dependence on the oil industries..
If the probe "Amal" arrives at the Red Planet, its arrival with the country's 50 -year celebrations coincides with the establishment of the United Arab Emirates in 1971.
No one can accuse the state of the deficiency of ambition, as it pledged to build a human settlement in Mars by 2117.
