 UAE’s 1st long-duration astronaut marks the start of Ramadan in space

The first Emirati astronaut in space will witness the beginning of Ramadan with the arrival of the new moon as soon as tonight (March 22).

Astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi arrived in space on March 2 after launching into orbit aboard a SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket in a Crew Dragon spacecraft. He is working aboard the International Space Station for the next half-year on the first-ever long duration mission flown by a United Arab Emirates (UAE) astronaut.
