Sultan Al Neyadi documenting the Arabian Sea hurricane from space
The Emirati astronaut, Sultan Al Neyadi, published, on Tuesday, exclusive scenes from space of the tropical cyclone in the Arabian Sea. Al-Neyadi wrote in a tweet on Twitter, "From the International Space Station, we can follow many natural phenomena, and cooperate with experts on the ground in the field of monitoring weather conditions," then added, "May God protect everyone."
Earlier, the National Center of Meteorology in the Emirates classified the tropical situation in the Arabian Sea as a "first-class hurricane" that would last 24 hours without any impact on the country. The cyclone is centered in the eastern Arabian Sea at latitude 21.0 north and longitude 66.8, with wind speeds around the center ranging from 145 to 155 km/h, with formations of cumulus rain clouds around the depression.
Since his arrival at the International Space Station, Al Neyadi has been keen to publish stunning views of the Earth from space, in addition to sharing some challenges and achievements. About two months ago, the Emirati astronaut was part of the "Cro-6" team, on a scientific mission to the space station.
Al-Neyadi is engaged in the longest scientific mission for the Arabs in space, which will last for six continuous months at the space station. He will participate in scientific experiments in 10 vital areas throughout the duration of the mission.
