In this four-part documentary series Reach For The Stars (Friday 10th, 9pm), National Geographic shows the journey of the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) to date. This includes delving into the motivations behind their satellite launches and the inception of their mammoth Mars ambitions.
The series will combine multiple story threads, from education on astrophysics, space science technologies and engineering, to training and development of the current team (and the teams of the future), global-scale knowledge transference, and an in-depth look at the outcome and implications of the missions.
