Pakistan Makes History with Launch of 'ICUBE-Q' Moon Mission


 




A historic mission for Pakistan as it embarks it’s first-ever lunar mission. Pakistan has joined the international space mission to explore the moon. The mission aims to orbit the moon and gather valuable information an it’s surface and environment. It’s an exciting step for Pakistan’s space exploration efforts. It include 3 module Two module will revolve around the moon and the rest is called landing module which lands on the surface of moon. The place on the moon where Pakistan is going to explore is invisible to us. It is also known as far side of moon. This mission will take pictures by optical camera and send it to the Earth.

The Launch of 'ICUBE-Q'

This mission took years for it’s preparation. Pakistan’s first lunar mission, ICUBE-Q, is scheduled for launch on 3 May at 12:50 pm (Pakistan Standard Time) aboard China's Chang'e 6 lunar probe from Hainan, China. Mission undergoes testing and verification of each component before launch. 

ICUBE-Q will reach the orbit of the moon in 5 days and will send the images of moon’s surface to the earth.  ICUBE-Q will circle in the orbit of moon. Launching of lunar mission will telecast on the website of "Institute of Space Technology" .

Collaboration and Innovation:

This mission took years for it’s preparation. Pakistan has also joined the international space mission to explore the moon. Pakistan’s first lunar mission, ICUBE-Q, is scheduled for launch on 3 May at 12:50 pm (Pakistan Standard Time) aboard China’s Chang'e 6 lunar probe from Hainan, China. ICUBE-Q is a very light weight miniature lunar mission of Pakistan which has been designed and developed by Islamabad-based Institute of Space Technology in collaboration with China’s Shanghai University and Pakistan’s national space agency SUPARCO.
Change’s 6 is basically the 6th lunar mission of china and the mission going to explore moon includes 4 organizations. Like IST ( Institute of Space Technology), SUPARCO (Pakistan Space Agency), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) China, Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO) is the combine mission of four which is going to explore the fore side of moon which is invisible to us.

Potential Benefits for Future Space Exploration

It is the 6th mission of China so, it has numerous chances of being successful as it has already accomplished 5 mission of that kind. All the instruements used in that mission are manufactured in Pakistan. Pakistan and China are getting benefits of each others knowledge improvement by making partnership. There’re huge chances for Pakistan to be independent by using this mission. 

Background of ICUBE-Q:

 It is a cube type gadget which would take 5 days to reach the orbit of moon. It will begun to perform it’s functions as soon as it is released in the space. The main functioning include solar panels which performs it’s function when power activates. It includes 4 type different sensors which collects all information about moon. Its camera collect images and analyze them while the rest are the megneto-meter which are the sensitive and can easily sense the magnetic field as it orbits around the moon . It will send the data to the centre which will better estimate the strength of magnetic field. The most important thing is that it has the mechanism which control the orientation by star senses. It make it possible to transfer the image of moon and vice versa.

Conclusion

It is the biggest honor for Pakistan that it is going to explore the space. It has been launched in our neghibour countries. Pakistan is going to enter in the list of countries who has explored the moon. Pakistan is making very slow progress as compared to other countries as they had already proceeded towards the moon but for Pakistan it is it’s first step towards moon. Probably, it seems that this step would cover the gap which is held between Pakistan and other countries.

Heat Waves and Public Health in Pakistan: Risks and Mitigation

Image
In a country like Pakistan, where extreme weather events are becoming more frequent severe due to climate change, heat waves pose a significant threat to public health. In combination of high temperatures, humidity and air can hav e devastating effects on vulnerable populations.  The Impact of Heat Waves on Public Health Heat-Related Illnesses - Heat waves can lead to a range of heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and heatstroke. - Vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children, and individuals with preexisting health conditions are at higher risk of suffering from these illnesses. - In extreme cases, heatstroke can result in organ damage, disability, and even death if not promptly treated. Respiratory Issues - High temperatures exacerbate air pollution levels, leading to an increase in respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis. - The combination of heat and poor air quality can trigger respiratory distress in vulnerable individuals and worse...
