The final evaluation stage of the 14 candidates was conducted by a committee consisting of specialists from MBRSC, including Emirati astronauts Hazzaa Al Mansoori and Sultan Al Neyadi along with NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anne McClain, who narrowed it down to 4 candidates. The two candidates were then selected from the final four after undergoing rigorous tests for physical fitness, communication skills and teamwork.
Who are the new astronauts?
The announcement was followed by tweets about Al Matrooshi and Al Mulla by Mohammad Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC). The duo will train with NASA, America’s space agency, for future space exploration missions.
MBRSC tweeted two short clips about the two new astronauts.
