So what exactly did the UAE contribute?
“The UAE is not doing Hope entirely on its own. Besides purchasing the H-2A launch from Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, MBRSC partnered with several universities in the United States, such as Arizona State University, the University of California Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory and the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado. Those universities collaborated on the spacecraft and its instruments.”
“NASA is also supporting the mission by providing Hope access to the Deep Space Network for communications.”
Mooonney! they got the cash, we got the knowledge.
I think any project that steers their population away from killing and raping infidels is a good one.
The same thing they always contribute...money. They didn’t really design or launch this probe, just like they didn’t design or build all of those ostentatious buildings in Dubai.

Money; an idea to make young princelings happy and content. They did as mussulmen historically always do: come up with an idea to make themselves look good, hire all the work out, take credit for whatever it is, then have their lackeys in the media of the day promote their glory and prowess making it sound as if they did whatever it was all by themselves - to wit: “UAE’s Hope mission on its way to Mars”.
