The UAE's Rashid Rover has been tested in the desert ahead of its launch to the Moon later this year.

A video released by the Dubai Media Office showed the 10kg rover being put through its paces on the sand dunes.

The first Arab mission to the Moon's surface is scheduled to liftoff on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from Florida's Kennedy Space Centre during the fourth quarter of this year.

The rover will study the lunar soil in an unexplored area during its mission.
