If they launch successfully, the spacecrafts will arrive at Mars early next year. The first of the three missions, built by the United Arab Emirates, is scheduled for liftoff on Sunday afternoon. When is the launch and how can I watch it? Because the Emirates does not have its own rockets, it bought a trip to space from a Japanese company, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Other launch attempts last week were postponed because of weather conditions.
