Pakistan is going to Moon with China’s help
Pakistan is set to send its first lunar rover, named Jinnah-1, on a mission to the Moon in 2029 with China's assistance. The rover, developed by the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco), will travel aboard China’s Chang’e-8 mission and focus on studying the lunar environment, particularly near the south pole. Suparco announced the name after a nationwide competition that received around 4,000 entries. The rover will be controlled by Pakistani engineers once it reaches the Moon's surface.
