H.E. Dr. Sultan Saif Al Neyadi (Arabic: سلطان النيادي; born 23 May 1981) is an Emirati astronaut and one of the first two astronauts from the United Arab Emirates, along with Hazza Al Mansouri. He is the first Arab to serve on the International Space Station (ISS) for a 6-month mission, as part of Expedition 69 and the first Arab astronaut to perform a spacewalk. On 6 January 2024, Al Neyadi was appointed as the minister of state for youth in the United Arab Emirates, and was sworn in on 11 January 2024.
Al Neyadi was the back-up for Hazzaa Al Mansoori, in the UAE’s first scientific mission to the ISS in 2019, under the slogan ‘Zayed’s Ambition.’[2]
