Pakistan is busy preparing to reach the moon. The name of its moon mission will be iCUBE-Q. However, not Pakistan but China will have a major contribution in reaching the moon. For the Moon mission, the satellite has been prepared by Pakistan's Institute of Space Technology (IST) in collaboration with China's Shanghai University SJTU and National Space Agency Suparco. This satellite will be launched with China's Chang'e-6 mission on Friday, May 3.
IST has described this mission of Pakistan as historic. Know how Pakistan's Moon mission will be, what is its goal and how much China is helping in it.
How is Pakistan's moon mission?
Pakistan's orbiter ICUBE-Q will not land on the moon. It will do its work while remaining in its orbit. This orbiter has two optical cameras which will take pictures of the lunar surface. After successful testing of the orbiter, it has been connected to the Chang'e-6 mission. The special thing is that a satellite of Pakistan will also be sent in this mission, its name is CubeSat. This satellite has been developed by IST. It is small in size. It is made in cubic shape.
What is the purpose?
Through this mission, China will collect samples from the lunar surface and will do research after bringing them back to Earth. Pakistan's satellite is being sent for many purposes. Through this, it is being said that many information related to the field of scientific research, development of technology, and space will be collected. This satellite is very small in size, hence its cost is also less compared to other satellites. According to Dawn's report, the Moon Mission can be seen on the official website and social media platforms of IST. Chang'e-6 is the sixth series of China's Lunar Exploration Mission and before this Dragon has executed many missions, but this mission is very special for Pakistan because only with the help of China it is becoming easy for it to reach the moon. .
When and how will the mission be launched?
This Moon mission will be launched on May 3 from Hainan Island in China using a Long March 5 rocket. After a journey of 53 days, China's spacecraft will collect lunar soil and go to Earth. Much new information related to the Moon will be obtained from this soil. Earlier, through the Chang E-5 mission, China also brought a sample of the Moon to Earth in 2020. Now once again China is preparing for this.
The people of Pakistan had spoken harshly
Last year, India had created history by successfully landing on the moon. The special thing was that India had created this history with a lesser budget as compared to other countries. After this achievement, the people of Pakistan scolded the leaders of their country. After several months of preparation, Pakistan joined hands with China to launch the satellite.
