Pakistans lunar mission: First images from ICUBE-Qamar received
Pakistans space program has embarked on a historic lunar mission, with its satellite AI CubeSat successfully capturing the first-ever image of the Moon.
The ICUBE-Qamar is a collaborative effort between Chinas Shanghai University and SUPARCO (Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission).
It was developed to capture high-resolution images of the lunar surface and equipped with two optical cameras, the satellite has now achieved its primary objective of obtaining the first image of the Moon.
Earlier this week, the satellite entered the lunar orbit, commencing the mission to assess and validate the lunar orbits subsystems.
