Pakistan's space agency Suparco (Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission) has officially named the country's first lunar rover "Jinnah-1," in honour of Pakistan's founding father Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The name was chosen from around 4,000 public submissions and awarded to Tayyab Karim, a 17-year-old from Bahawalnagar, at a ceremony in Islamabad. The rover is set to travel to the Moon's south pole in 2029 aboard China's Chang'e-8 mission, where it will study plasma, radiation, and lunar geology — marking a significant step for Pakistan's nascent space programme.
