Chang'e-6 will lead to Chang'e 7 and 8. Which will result in the first permanent moon base.
One of the jobs of our satellite is to map the dark side and identify potential spots for a future moon base.

With everything going into space these days, it's news when it comes back.

The ICUBE-Q is only the tip of the iceberg as far as impending collaboration on space and lunar research between Pakistan and China is concerned. Last year, Pakistan also joined the club of nations partnering with China on an ambitious project to build a research station on the south pole of the moon, the objective of the fourth phase of China's lunar exploration programme.
The China-led International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) project aims to construct a permanent lunar base in the 2030s.

It's a dark side of the moon, Pink Floyd homage.

France, Italy and Sweden also
Their stuff has absolutely nothing to do with the plans for a moon base.

China/Pak/Atleastonemoreguy, will have a moon base in the next 10 years.
Meanwhile USA will still be feeding a zombie Ukraine and bombing random brown people for oil and democracy and electing mentally senile presidents. LOL

Never said it did. French instrument is a dust and outgassing detecting unit, Sweden has a reflecting ion detector, and Italy has a laser rangefinder for the lander.

So when you people get to the moon it will NOT be "For All Mankind".
Got it.
(If you have not seen the series For All Mankind you should definitely watch it since you seem to think there will actually be a moon base someday)

Don't hold your break. Thus far Pakistan has rented a space for a 14 pound cube satellite with a couple cameras on it on a Chinese moon lander.
That might qualify them to put a decal on the side of the Chinese moon base.

It's one of my favorites. And yes I was thinking exactly of that show when the rocket launched.
It will let us do far more than Canada would ever be capable of doing.
Don't worry about it.

On the other hand, Pakistan's only "astronaut" is an artist from Dubai that bought a ride with Richard Branson.
