UAE astronaut mascot 'Suhail' flies again as Crew-6 zero-g indicator [i]The first Emirati to embark on a long-duration space mission lifted off with two Americans, a Russian and, as was revealed once they were all safely in orbit, a fellow "countryman" making its second launch with an astronaut from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Sultan AlNeyadi introduced his mission's "fifth crew member" as it floated at the end of a tether aboard SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft "Endeavour" on Thursday (March 2), signaling that AlNeyadi and the three other (human) members of Crew-6 — Stephen Bown, Warren "Woody" Hoburg and Andrey Fedyaev — were in the weightless environment of space. "His name is Suhail," said AlNeyadi soon after the launch was over and Endeavour was on its way to the International Space Station.[/i]
