The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has launched an exciting nationwide contest, inviting the public to propose a name for the country’s first-ever lunar rover. The winning entry will receive a cash prize of Rs 100,000, along with national recognition.
Pakistan’s lunar rover, which is set to be launched in 2028 as part of China’s Chang’E 8 mission, will be a groundbreaking project in the country’s space exploration efforts. The rover will be tasked with exploring the Moon’s surface, overcoming its challenging terrain, conducting scientific experiments, and transmitting valuable data back to Earth.
The “Name Pakistan’s Lunar Rover” contest is open to all students, space enthusiasts, and individuals across Pakistan who are interested in space exploration. Each participant is allowed to submit only one entry, and the deadline for submissions is set for March 15, 2025.
This initiative offers an incredible opportunity for the public to contribute to the nation’s space history and be part of a momentous event in Pakistan’s scientific achievements. The winner’s name will be forever associated with the lunar rover, and their contribution will be recognized on a national level.
