UAE astronaut mascot 'Suhail' flies again as Crew-6 zero-g indicator

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.

You can purchase this item from the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center shop but you'll have to find someone in UAE to drop ship one for you because they don't appear to ship out of the country at this time.

Zero-g indicator Suhail, the mascot of the UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut program, has arrived at the Karst-onian. Nestled in amongst others he looks right at home.

I had to call a few contacts to get it sent stateside, but is was worth the effort.

The Crew-6 Suhail is different from the one flown in 2019 and sold to the public:
