breast cancer researcher Rayana Barnawi became the first Arab woman to go into space after launching Elon Musk’s private SpaceX rocket to fly to the International Space Station (ISS). In addition to the investigator, Saudi Air Force pilot Ali al-Qarni, former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson and businessman and pilot John Schoffner also traveled on the rocket.
The astronaut team took off from the Kennedy Space Center in the southern United States at 5:37 p.m. local time aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and are due to arrive at the space station this Monday, where they will spend about a week, Al Jazeera reported.
Hello from space! It’s amazing to see the Earth from this capsule,” Barnavi said after entering orbit.
The researcher, who has been sponsored by the Saudi Arabian government, has previously said it is “a great honor and pleasure” to be the first Saudi female astronaut to go into space.
