The UAE's involvement in space is about to reach another milestone with the launch of a nano-satellite onboard a Cygnus spacecraft in Virginia.

A team of 20 students from Khalifa University of Science and Technology saw three years of hard work sent into space on Saturday when their MYSAT-1 nano-satellite heads to the International Space Station.

The spacecraft took off on time at 04:01am Eastern Time (13:01pm UAE) at Nasa's Wallops facility.

MYSAT-1 is a type of "CubeSat" that weighs 1.3kg and has been developed by students enrolled in the Space Systems and Technology Masters in Engineering degree at the university.

It has a camera that will take pictures of Earth, and will also be used to test a lithium-ion battery created at Khalifa University.

This is what it looks like:
