Pakistan Prepares First Astronaut for China's Tiangong Space Station

Two Pakistani pilots, Zeeshan Ali and Khurram Daud, are training in China to become the first Pakistani astronaut aboard China's Tiangong space station. They are learning Mandarin, centrifuge drills, and zero-gravity skills. The mission, part of broader China-Pakistan space cooperation since 2019, includes satellite projects and a lunar rover. A final astronaut selection is expected by late October.
