UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi will dial in for his sixth 'Call from Space' on Wednesday at 2:00 pm.

The chat will be live cast by the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) at Ras Al Khaimah's Higher Colleges of Technology Women’s campus.

It'll be an invitation-only event for those from Ras Al Khaimah's schools, universities and government entities.

Al Neyadi is currently undertaking the "longest Arab mission in history" onboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Close to 5,500 people have taken part in the past five editions of the event, giving attendees a glimpse into Al Neyadi’s life on the ISS and the opportunity to interact with him.

During his current mission, Al Neyadi also became the first Arab astronaut to perform a spacewalk.
