Two Emiratis will be part of a space research programme as part of the Scientific International Research in Unique Terrestrial Station, SIRIUS 20/21, an 8-month analog mission conducted at the NEK ground-based analogue facility in Moscow, Russia.

The pair have been selected from a shortlist of ten candidates announced last year.

The mission will focus on studying the effects of isolation and confinement on human psychology, physiology and team dynamics to help prepare for long-duration space exploration.

The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre said the name of the two members will be announced soon
