Pakistan's reply to Chandrayaan! Launches maiden lunar mission 'Cube Qamar' thanks to China

China and Pakistan joins hands!

With the launch of lunar missions that aim to deepen our understanding of the moon, China and Pakistan are making major strides in space exploration.

ICUBE-Q's launch

ICube Qamar (ICUBE-Q), Pakistans first lunar mission, blasted off on Chinas Change-6 orbiter on Friday, over nine months after Indias Chandrayaan 3 made history by soft landing on the moons south pole.

Off to Moon!

With the launch of lunar missions that aim to deepen our understanding of the moon, China and Pakistan are making major strides in space exploration. This mission is a tribute to Pakistan’s developing capabilities in space technology and our dedication to advance scientific research, an IST spokeswoman said.

ICUBE-Q & Beyond

ICUBE-Q represents a big milestone for Pakistans space program, and we are pleased to be part of this historic mission, said a second IST official.

China's advancements

Chinas increasingly advanced space exploration program is highlighted by this most recent mission, which puts it in competition with the United States, which is now leading space exploration. With its isolation from Earth and other interferences, the far side of the moon presents exceptional scientific potential, especially for radio astronomy.

Lunar Exploration

China intends to land humans on the moon by 2030 as part of its ambitious lunar exploration program. To improve its study of the moon and space research, the nation has scheduled three lunar probe missions for the next four years.

Earth and other disturbances

In the global space race, Chinas ambitious space exploration program—which includes aspirations to land humans on the moon by 2030—is regarded as a major advancement. The far side of the moon is perfect for radio astronomy and other scientific endeavors since it is shielded from Earth and other disturbances.
