The outer space once gave mankind a reason to wonder, now it gives the reason to keep moving on. Today the space sciences have evolved to a point where Mars seems habitable, and the outer space seems like a tourist attraction.

However, Pakistan lags in terms of space technology with only a few satellites that have been hosted, and that too by other countries such as China. So much so, Pakistan does not even have its own rocket missions.

However, in the subject of aerospace, Pakistan’s future seems promising, because this education is offered only by a few colleges, while the human resources are limited, and the demand is strong, and growing further.

Although, more innovation and creativity is needed, but one thing is for sure, the scope of Aerospace is expanding, and its demand is growing, with the emergence of space technology in Pakistan, and it is going to be an even bigger industry in the future.

Hence there is a lot of opportunity for youth who are interested in space sciences in Pakistan.

We at Parhai Likhai recommend children and parents to engage constructively, with each other and start this journey of learning without compromising on quality education.

Astronomy as a Science

For fresher, Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects and events that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere, such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies.

So, what are the primary astronomical targets?

Let's start with stars, which are at the center of astronomy research. Our twinkler is one of a trillion or various stars in solar system. Our current planetary system is still being studied.

Moreover, Astronomy is separated into several sub-disciplines. Planetary scientists, for example, study worlds inside our solar system as well as those circling distant stars (planets, moons, rings, asteroids, and comets).

So What’s an Astronomer Really Do?

Astronomers examine how matter and energy interact. The genesis of the cosmos or the nature of time may be studied by theoretical astronomers. Particle accelerators, electron microscopes, and lasers are used by certain astronomers to develop and carry out experiments.

For positions in research and academia, astronomers normally require a Ph.D. Those with a Ph.D. in physics or astronomy who want to work as researchers can start with a postdoctoral research job, which usually lasts two to three years.

As these researchers develop expertise and independence while doing increasingly complicated tasks, they are supervised by senior scientists.

The Prospects of Becoming as Astronomer in Pakistan

To begin with, you must pass intermediate-level scientific courses, particularly in mathematics and physics. After that, you can enroll in an astronomy undergraduate course and then in a bachelor's degree program in physics or other related fields such as space science. After earning a master's degree, you can pursue an astronomy specialty leading to a Ph. D.

To turn into an astrophysicist, as you require the following skills and attributes:

• Strong physics, math, and statistics abilities are required.
• Knowledge of computer programs and software is required.
• Aspiration and enthusiasm to grasp more about your topic of study.
• The capacity to work in a group and collaborate.

At ParhaiLikhai, we ensure that tutors are trained to cater the subtle needs of individual child so that they fully actualize on their talents and targets.

Pakistan’s Fleet in Space Sciences

In Pakistan, space technology involves a network of satellites that are now widely used for environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, natural disasters, and their impact. It is also used to monitor water flow, glacier melting, study the effects of climate change, discover new energy sources, manage natural resources, etc.

Space science and technology education mainly focus on developing and applying space technology for national and regional development, such as environmental management, weather forecasting, flood monitoring, etc.

Space Research Agencies of Pakistan

SUPARCO

SUPARCO is Pakistan's executive and national space agency. SUPARCO's purpose is to conduct research and development across the globe in the domains of Aerospace science, Aerospace engineering, and their constructive implementations.

SUPARCO was created with the goal of reviewing approaches and conducting research for the constructive use of Aerospace technology.

It also collaborated with NASA, the National Space Centre of the United Kingdom, and the European Space Agency for mutual benefit, such as joint research, training courses, and technical information.

However, for a country to advance in science and technology, it must have an environment that supports it and the political will. Unfortunately, both run counter to Pakistan's progress in space exploration.

The Future of Space Sciences in Pakistan

Many sectors are progressively becoming more interested in space research and technology. Hence, there is an increased demand for candidates with a strong sense of space, skills, and qualifications in space technology.

According to meteorologists, space technology today is more than sending satellites into space for telecommunication purposes. The need of Aerospace knowledge and automation has gone beyond the limits.

At Parhai Likhai, we aim to connect you with varified and talented educators and consultants. We aspire to create a competent and fair market for educators to interact with learners and have easy access to matters pertaining to education under a competent and streamlined supervision.

Conclusion

The Pakistani government must develop adequate national laws on space activities to comply with international treaties. It will facilitate the development of internal capacities to benefit economically from the growth of the commercial space industry.

It is necessary to educate the young generation in developing human resources to take advantage of space technologies. Young people should be motivated to create space applications in the service of humanity.

The government can organize seminars and workshops highlighting space science and related topics to educate people about this field and motivate young people to embrace this career.

Hiring a tutor is advisable but not necessary, as it is a supportive way to help excel your child in academics. At the end of the day it is the responsibility of the child and parents/ guardians to track the performance and progress along with the school faculty. However, it is the need of the hour to make things easy for your child.
