Förenade Arabemiraten skall starta ett rymdprogram och planerar en sond till 
Mars år 2021:
http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/811363-the-emirates-paves-way-for-a-middle-east-space-programme-with-its-mission-to-mars/

Det är det första rymdprogrammet i arabvärlden. Arabemiraten tänker troligen 
skaffa sig egen uppskjutningskapacitet (men man har ju olja att betala det med):

"there is something unique about the UAE’s announcement of plans to 
create a space agency and launch an unmanned mission to Mars by 2021. 
The plans indicate that the UAE will develop its own spacecraft building
 and perhaps also launching capabilities. While many countries 
participate in space activities through the purchase of hardware and 
launches from external providers, the ability to build and launch their 
own craft domestically lifts a country to the next level of the space 
faring elite. ...
Politically, the planned programme to Mars and also the creation of 
an UAE Space Agency makes a powerful statement. It puts the Middle East 
on the map with regards to space exploration for scientific purposes. It
 could also drive the creation of a Middle East space programme, akin to
 that of the European Space Agency.

This does not undermine the scientific value or importance of the 
project proposed by the UAE. The space science research community is 
well-networked transnationally, and a well-funded project to the red 
planet by the UAE should be welcomed."
