Thursday, 21 February 2019 08:03

Hazza Al Mansouri and Sultan Al Neyadi will be answering your questions next week in what will be their first media appearance.

They'll be live on Instagram at an event organised by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre on February 25.

You can tweet what you'd like to ask them using the hashtag - UAEAstronauts.

The duo will also be at the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature in Dubai next month.

The men are currently undergoing training in Russia, before one of them (whose name will be picked next week) will blast off into space.
