China-Pakistan space cooperation will help Pakistan in terms of satellite monitoring of natural disasters and agricultural production, land and resources surveying, and waste handling in a microgravity environment.

It is a very positive development that Pakistan today launched its first lunar orbit mission ICUBE-Q. It is designed and developed by the Institute of Space Technology in collaboration with China’s Shanghai University and Pakistan’s national space agency. Pakistan is already sending space shuttles for the sake of knowledge about weather forecasts and prediction of other disasters. Pakistan is a victim of global warming challenge and is in dire need of modern air space technology. China is well advanced in the field of science and technology and is supporting Pakistan in this regard as well. China-Pakistan space cooperation will help Pakistan in terms of satellite monitoring of natural disasters and agricultural production, land and resources surveying, and waste handling in a microgravity environment.
