Emirati astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi is all set to make his way back home this month.

The United Arab Emirates-based astronaut made history by becoming the Arab world’s first astronaut to embark on the longest space mission.

Sultan Al Neyadi along with his NASA Crew-6 members is currently living at the International Space Station (ISS). The Emirati astronaut reached the orbiting laboratory in March.

Sultan Al Neyadi took off to Space for a period of six months and he is all set to return to Earth from space later this month.

As his expedition aboard the ISS is coming to an end this month, the 42-year-old astronaut has talked about some challenges he might face while readapting to Earth.

According to Khaleej Times, Dr Al Neyadi recently opened up about the challenges he might face after his return to Earth.

The Sultan of Space recently had a session with the Emirates Amateur Radio Society. This was reportedly his final radio call from the International Space Station.

On August 1, 2023, the UAE-based astronaut shared a post on his official X account (formerly Twitter) and shared that he had his final radio session. Sultan Al Neyadi had interactive series with students where he answered the queries of the future generation.

Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center also shared several images and videos from the session.

According to the news outlet, he said that after spending six months in space the astronauts “must adapt to walking” and “life in general.”

He added that it takes about “two weeks of training” to readapt to life on Earth. The astronaut said in this period they will carry out more scientific experiments as well as physical exercises to help them “return to a normal state.”

The 10-minute radio call event was arranged by Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre and the Emirates Amateur Radio Society where several students got to ask questions to the Arab astronaut.
