Out of this world first for Emirates
UAE astronaut Sultan AlNeyadi interviewed from space for Emirates ice
Emirates is to broadcast a "live" interview with UAE astronaut Dr. Sultan AlNeyadi, who spent six months aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
The interview for Emirates ice was conducted from the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) Mission Control Centre, via NASA in Houston, through a space-to-ground communication link, and will be shown via the Emirates World Channel from September 1, 2023, the same day Dr. AlNeyadi will begin his journey home to Earth.
Interviewed by Emirates SVP of IFE & Connectivity, Patrick Brannelly, the discussion sees Dr AlNeyadi describe his inflight meals, how he stays connected to family and the entertainment available onboard the spacecraft, with Brannelly drawing parallels with the Emirates experience. The live footage is interspersed with Dr. AlNeyadi enjoying his coffee in microgravity, conducting experiments, and exercising.
