 Emirati astronaut Sultan Al-Niyadi, who left on Thursday night on the longest space mission in Arab history, congratulated his family and national leadership as he announced his arrival at the space station in his first message from space.

According to Emirates Daily, the message of astronaut Sultan Al-Niyadi has been released on the Twitter account of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Center in which he has reported his arrival.

Sultan Al-Niyadi has thanked Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Center for his full cooperation in the completion of this space mission and all the efforts made for this campaign. Sultan Al Niyadi is among the group of four astronauts who have been assigned the mission 'Crow6'.
