🚀 Hey space enthusiasts! Guess what? Pakistan is getting ready to send an astronaut to the China Space Station! 🌟
After signing a special agreement in February, China and Pakistan are working together to select Pakistani astronauts. Just like China’s own astronauts, they will go through three important steps: the preliminary selection, the secondary selection, and the final selection.
The first step is happening right now in Pakistan. Then, the astronauts who make it through will go to China for the next stages. In the end, two lucky Pakistani astronauts will train in China! 🏋️♂️🏋️♀️
One of these astronauts will even fly to the China Space Station as a payload specialist. This means they’ll help with the crew’s daily tasks and also do cool science experiments for Pakistan! 🔬
But that’s not all! China is talking to other countries, too. More astronauts from different places might join future missions to the China Space Station. Stay tuned for more exciting space news! 🌌
