China’s upcoming lunar mission, Chang’e 6, scheduled for the first week of May, is poised to enhance international collaboration in space exploration by integrating various payloads and satellite projects from different countries and regions. Among these collaborations, Pakistan’s ICUBE-Q CubeSat satellite will join the mission, marking a deepening partnership between China and Pakistan in space exploration.

Named ICUBE-Qamar, or ICUBE-Q for short, this CubeSat is developed by Pakistan’s Institute of Space Technology (IST) in collaboration with the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), the Asia Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO), and China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). Scheduled for launch next month, ICUBE-Qamar reflects the growing involvement of Pakistan in space exploration endeavors.

CubeSats, like ICUBE-Q, serve various scientific, technological, and educational purposes in space exploration due to their compact size and standardized design. They offer opportunities for missions ranging from Earth observation and remote sensing to atmospheric research and technology demonstration.

In addition to CubeSats, Pakistan is engaged in other space exploration initiatives, such as contributing seeds to China’s Tiangong space station for research on environmentally tolerant seeds. Moreover, Pakistan is reportedly exploring formal agreements to participate in both the Tiangong space station and China’s lunar base on the South Pole, according to reports from Dawn newspaper.

The Chang’e 6 mission aims to collect samples from the far side of the Moon, comprising an orbiter, lander, ascender, and re-entry module. It targets the South Pole-Aitken Basin for landing, where it will gather dust and rock samples. Success in this mission could provide crucial insights into the composition and geological evolution of the Moon’s far side.
