The Moon Mission was assigned to Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmospheric Research Commission (Suparco), which has not yet started a satellite or space mission without China’s assistance. In 2028, Pakistan will contribute to 35 kilograms of traveler for China’s Chang-8 mission, which aims to explore the south pole of the moon. Mobile will perform scientific experiments, analyze the land and evaluate the use of resources.
In the meantime, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), the Moon Mission Chandayaan and Mars Mission, Mangaliaan has taken significant steps compared to his neighbor with his neighbor.

Inadequate government financing prevented Suparco from progressing with an annual annual budget of 36 million dollars compared to India’s Isro.
Suparco has faced leadership problems that retired army generals have been chaired by the agency for the last 11 years and asking questions about the scientific aspect. Moreover, Pakistan is largely relying on China for satellite launch and developments by limiting its indigenous abilities. A small number of universities in Pakistan offer courses related to the field that restricts the growth of talented professionals.
