Following the successful launch of Pakistan's first lunar satellite, iCUBE, another satellite is scheduled for release into space on May 30. The upcoming satellite, MM1, is a collaborative effort between SUPARCO and the National Space Agency and will contribute to the establishment of a cutting-edge communication system.Designed to address the increasing demands of the telecom sector, MM1 is poised to enhance 5G internet services in the country.Notably, Pakistan's maiden lunar mission, ICUBE Qamar, achieved a significant milestone by successfully entering the moon's orbit just three days ago.Operating under extreme conditions, with temperatures plummeting as low as minus 100 degrees Celsius, MM1 is equipped with a 7kg one-megapixel camera specifically tailored for missions with stringent power constraints.Its capacity to transmit images at a modest 1-kbps rate will facilitate surface-level analysis, providing crucial data on crater locations, water, and traces of ice on the moon's surface. These find ings, obtained through various techniques, hold immense promise for global utilization.Source: Pro Pakistani
