Pakistan's Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) is set to explore the lunar surface as part of China's Chang'E 8 mission, scheduled to launch in 2028. The rover, weighing 35 kilograms, will be landing at the lunar south pole. The primary objectives of this mission include exploring the lunar surface, conducting scientific experiments, and testing new technologies for future lunar and planetary exploration. The scientific experiments will focus on studying the lunar soil, mapping the lunar surface, and testing sustainable technologies for human presence on the Moon. This collaboration between SUPARCO and China marks a significant step in Pakistan's space exploration endeavors and paves the way for future lunar and planetary research.
