Though a good beginning, Pakistan’s space programme is currently minuscule compared to that of its neighbor, India, in several aspects. The Indian space research and development programs have been inspired and led by visionary leaders such as Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, known as the father of the Indian space program, who established the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR), later evolving into the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). By adopting a strategic approach and investing in space research, Pakistan can become a key player in the global space arena, bringing pride and prosperity to the nation. Whereas, Pakistan’s space programme, overseen by the Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), has achieved nothing compared to India’s space programme. By adopting a strategic approach and investing in space research, Pakistan can become a key player in the global space arena, bringing pride and prosperity to the nation.
