ISLAMABAD: In a groundbreaking initiative aimed at inspiring the next generation of space enthusiasts, the Space Education and Awareness Drive (SEAD) by Pakistan’s National Space Agency, SUPARCO, has launched an exciting venture – Postcards to Space.
Partnering with the World Space Week Association (WSWA) and Blue Origins, SEAD invited space enthusiasts from across Pakistan to participate in this innovative project. Thousands of specially designed postcards were distributed to children, providing them with a canvas to express their space dreams and ideas through drawings, colors, or writings.
Once collected by SEAD, these postcards will embark on an extraordinary journey aboard the New Shepard rocket by Club for the Future, in collaboration with WSWA. Traveling to space and back, each postcard will bear a unique ‘Flown to Space’ stamp, symbolizing its remarkable voyage beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
This initiative signifies a significant step forward in SUPARCO’s mission to bridge the gap between space science and public engagement. By fostering curiosity and appreciation for space technology, SUPARCO aims to spark the imagination of children across Pakistan and create a profound connection with the wonders of the universe.
