The Rashid Rover, the first Arab mission to land on the lunar surface, is set to reach the moon on 25 April.
At around 7.40pm, the lander carrying the Rashid Rover will perform multiple orbital control manoeuvrers to reach a 100km circular orbit around the Moon before initiating the landing sequence.
On landing at 8.40pm, the rover will then explore the lunar surface for 10 to 12 days.
The rover will study the lunar plasma, the petrography and the geology of the moon, which is the study of the Moon's environment, assess lunar dust, which is the properties of the soil on the moon, retrieve information on the characteristics of the lunar surface and collect data to develop new technologies.
