ISLAMABAD: United Arab Emirates astronaut Sultan al-Neyadi landed at the International Space Station yesterday (Saturday).

The SpaceX Dragon capsule, named Endeavour, docked to the space station where al-Neyadi and his three crew members will spend the next six months in what will be the Arab world’s longest space mission.

It will see experiments ranging from human cell growth in space to controlling combustible materials in microgravity.
