 Prior to PAKSAT MM1, Pakistan's historic lunar exploration mission (ICUBE-Q) was launched aboard China's space shuttle Chang'e-6 on May 3 from China's Hainan Island.

 The iCube-Qamar satellite  mission was Pakistan's first lunar exploration and was a significant milestone for the country's space endeavors.

 The iCube-Q satellite  was designed and developed by the Institute of Space Technology (IST) in collaboration with China's Shanghai University SJTU and Pakistan's  space agency SUPARCO.

 The satellite successfully captured and transmitted the first images from lunar orbit, providing a unique perspective of the lunar surface.
