Sultan Al Neyadi, who expressed his love for the sport of jiu-jitsu, which he has practiced for years, confirmed that this sport has greatly helped him prepare for his space mission.
The discipline, focus and adaptability I acquired through jujitsu, he said, “are invaluable to me on the International Space Station. Even in microgravity, the movements and poses I learned on Earth serve me well here.”
And it was a live broadcast by the American space agency “NASA”, on the “YouTube” platform, documenting the exit of the Emirati astronaut from the pressure equation on the International Space Station, becoming the first Arab to walk in space.
More than a month ago, Sultan Al Neyadi, as part of the “Crow-6” team, launched a scientific mission to the International Space Station.
Al-Neyadi is engaged in the longest scientific mission for Arabs in space, which will last six consecutive months on the space station. He will participate in scientific experiments in 10 vital domains for the duration of the mission.
