		</div><p>The United Arab Emirates has announced plans to send a probe to land on an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter to collect data on the origins of the universe, the latest project in the oil-rich federation’s ambitious space programme.</p>
<p>The project targets a 2028 launch with a landing in 2033, a five-year journey in which the spacecraft will travel 2.2 billion miles.</p>
<p>The UAE’s Space Agency said it will partner with the Laboratory for Atmospheric Science and Physics at the University of Colorado on the project.</p>
<p>It declined to immediately offer a cost for the effort.</p>
<p>The project comes after the Emirates put its Amal probe in orbit around Mars in February.</p>
<p>The car-sized Amal cost 200 million dollars (£146 million) to build and launch. That excludes operating costs at Mars.</p>
<p>The Emirates also plans to send an unmanned spacecraft to the moon in 2024.</p>
