China to Train & Launch Pakistani Astronauts for the 1st Time
In a historic move, China has announced that it will be training and launching two Pakistani astronauts for the first time as part of a joint mission to the Tiangong space station. This marks a significant milestone in the bilateral relations between the two countries, as Pakistan will become the first foreign country to have astronauts trained and launched by China.
According to a recent announcement by the China Manned Space Agency, the two Pakistani astronauts will receive spaceflight training in China as part of a joint mission to the Tiangong space station. The mission is expected to be a significant step forward in the cooperation between the two countries in the field of space exploration.
The move follows a bilateral deal between the two countries to train and send Pakistani astronauts to China’s space station. The deal was signed earlier this year, and the training of the Pakistani astronauts is expected to begin soon.
The Pakistan-China Space Cooperation Agreement was signed in January 2020, with the aim of promoting cooperation in the field of space exploration and development. The agreement covers various areas, including the training of Pakistani astronauts, joint research and development, and the launch of joint space missions.
The training program for the Pakistani astronauts will include a comprehensive curriculum that covers all aspects of spaceflight, including spacewalk training, space station operations, and emergency procedures. The astronauts will also undergo rigorous physical and mental training to prepare them for the challenges of space travel.
The joint mission to the Tiangong space station is expected to be a significant milestone in the cooperation between the two countries. The Tiangong space station is a modular space station that is designed to be capable of accommodating multiple modules and payloads. It is expected to play a key role in China’s space exploration program, and the joint mission with Pakistan will be an important step forward in the country’s space development plans.
The launch of the Pakistani astronauts to the Tiangong space station is expected to take place in the near future, although the exact date has not been announced. The mission will be a significant moment in the cooperation between the two countries, and it is expected to mark the beginning of a new era in Pakistan’s space program.
The news of the training and launch of Pakistani astronauts to the Tiangong space station has been widely welcomed in Pakistan, with many people expressing pride and excitement at the prospect of Pakistan becoming the first foreign country to have astronauts trained and launched by China.
“This is a historic moment for Pakistan, and we are proud to be partnering with China in this exciting new initiative,” said a spokesperson for the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), the country’s space agency. “We are confident that this joint mission will mark the beginning of a new era in Pakistan’s space program, and we look forward to continuing our cooperation with China in the years to come.”
