Pakistan Post on Tuesday issued a special series of three commemorative postage stamps to mark Suparco Day, celebrating the country’s recent achievements in space exploration.
The stamps highlight the successful launches of iCube-Qamar, PAKSAT-MM1, and EO-1, representing a transformative era in Pakistan’s national space programme.
iCube-Qamar, launched on May 3, 2024 aboard China’s Chang’e-6 mission, was Pakistan’s first lunar cube satellite. It successfully validated lunar orbit operations and captured images of both the moon and the sun.

PAKSAT-MM1, launched on May 30, 2024, is a geostationary communication satellite designed to enhance broadcasting, telecommunications, and internet services—supporting Pakistan’s socio-economic development goals.
EO-1, launched on January 17, 2025, is Pakistan’s first indigenous electro-optical Earth observation satellite. It provides high-resolution imagery for agriculture, urban planning, environmental monitoring, and disaster response.
The release of these stamps on SUPARCO Day not only honours these landmark missions but also symbolises Pakistan’s ongoing commitment to advancing space science and technology.
