“UAE successfully launches Mars probe aboard Japanese H-IIA rocket”
UAE didn’t do shit but pony up the money ... the satellite itself was built by the University of Colorado and launched on a Japanese rocket which was launched FROM Japan BY the Japanese ...

Perhaps and probably, American firms were to expensive and they bought the launch at a better price.
You should not confuse economics with politics.

This is one huge glaring example of the incompetence of NASA.

I’ll give them credit for supporting it. It’s better than funding suicide bombers.

Japanese rocket get better mileage.................. Yeah, but the high pitched whine of those crotch rockets hurts my ears.
Nothing beats the sound of an American v-twin. Just sayin'.

You might want to check the booking queue for satellites on US launchers. It’s booked *years* in advance - I think the first opening is 2025. The Japanese have spare capacity.

I believe it’s a scheduling issue. US launchers have a several year backlog at current and the Japanese have spare capacity.

You forgot the valuable training of the UAE “aerospace engineers”.
That’s much like the Saudis training petrochemical engineers. My buddy worked for ARAMCO, and he said that if any of the refineries or pumping stations were turned over to the Saudi engineers, it would be about two weeks before everything was either shut down or burned up.
