Pakistan s debut lunar satellite mission was launched Friday on board China s first lunar probe mission to collect samples from the far side of the Moon. The 53-day-long Chang e-6 mission will collect samples for the first time from the far side of the moon and bring them for scientific studies. This is the first time that China has included an orbiter from its all-weather ally Pakistan in its moon mission.
China and Pakistan are making remarkable strides in space exploration with their respective lunar missions. China s Chang e-6 mission and Pakistan s ICUBE-Q mission highlight the growing capabilities and ambitions of these nations in the field of space technology. These missions are expected to yield valuable insights into the moon s composition and history, contributing to our broader understanding of the universe.
