April 7, 2025Pakistan’s first human spaceflight mission to the Chinese Space Station (CSS) is expected by the end of 2026. Pakistan’s space agency, Suparco, has invited scientists, researchers, and students to submit proposals for experiments to be conducted in the extreme thermal, complete vacuum, and microgravity environment of the CSS, as part of this mission.
With Pakistan’s astronaut set to join an international mission, Suparco is encouraging submissions that explore innovative ideas in microgravity, especially in agriculture, medicine, physics, and biotechnology. Experiments should be cost-effective, lightweight, and completable within a week. Chosen projects could lead to scientific publications, patents, and commercial applications. This marks a milestone in Pakistan’s space journey and a unique opportunity for public involvement in advancing space research. Proposals are due by April 30, 2025.
