Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, on Tuesday said that the country would create its own-made lunar rover to study undiscovered areas of the Moon, with the mission set for 2024. "With God's help, we have launched a new Emirati project to explore the Moon.

The exploration of the Moon is part of the UAE's space strategy to enhance its capabilities in scientific and research fields. Source: RIA Novosti
