Why is it launching from Japan?
“We considered launches from the US, Europe, Russia, India and Japan, and we looked at the heritage, the capacity, what rockets can get us into the orbit that we need so that we can start our cruise towards Mars,” said Sharaf. “Obviously the cost of these things came into play, too.” EMM will launch on a Japanese H-2A rocket built by Mitsubishi, which the UAE has used before.
