    The announcement comes as an international fleet of Emirati, Chinese, and American spacecraft are set to begin arriving at Mars on Tuesday, 9 February for a variety of orbital and surface missions, with the Emirati and Chinese spacecraft entering Martian orbit while NASA’s Perseverance mission performs a direct entry and landing to Jezero Crater.
