Al Amal (arabiska: مسبار الأمل) även känd som Hope, är Förenade Arabemiraten´s första rymdsond. Den planeras att utforska planeten Mars. Farkosten sköts upp den 19 juli 2020, med en japansk H-IIA-raket från Tanegashima Space Center i Japan.[2] Den gick in i omloppsbana runt Mars, den 9 februari 2021.[3]
Rymdsonden är konstruerad av Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre, University of Colorado Boulder och University of California, Berkeley. Rymdsondens uppgift är att under minst ett marsårs tid (2 år), studera planeten Mars atmosfär och vädret nära planetens yta.[2] Projektledare är Omran Sharaf.

Mars Hubble.jpg
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took the picture of Mars on June 26, 2001, when Mars was approximately 68 million kilometers (43 million miles) from Earth — the closest Mars has ever been to Earth since 1988. Hubble can see details as small as 16 kilometers (10 miles) across. The colors have been carefully balanced to give a realistic view of Mars' hues as they might appear through a telescope. Especially striking is the large amount of seasonal dust storm activity seen in this image. One large storm system is churning high above the northern polar cap (top of image), and a smaller dust storm cloud can be seen nearby. Another large dust storm is spilling out of the giant Hellas impact basin in the Southern Hemisphere (lower right).
