History is about to be made in space. Pakistan has announced that it will send an astronaut to join a mission on China's space station.
The astronaut will be part of the upcoming Shenzhou-24 mission. This will be the first time a person from Pakistan travels to China’s space station.
China has been working hard on its own space station, known as the Tiangong. This station stays in orbit around the Earth. Astronauts go there to live and work for months at a time.
By joining this mission, the Pakistani astronaut will be one of the first people from outside of China to visit the station. This trip is a big deal for space cooperation between the two countries.
Everyone is looking forward to the mission. It shows how countries are starting to work together more often to explore space. We will keep you updated as we learn more about who the astronaut is and when exactly they will launch into space.
