Pakistan's national space agency, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), will mark World Space Week 2026 from October 4 to 10 with events across the country, the Associated Press of Pakistan reported on Wednesday.
The programme will consist of educational activities, awareness sessions and public engagement initiatives, according to the report. The announcement was made from Islamabad.
This year's global theme is 'Rocket Revolution'. SUPARCO said the theme highlights the evolution of rocket technology and its central role in shaping the future of space exploration.
The report said the events will be held nationwide, but did not provide a list of cities, venues, dates or the format of individual activities. Further details about how members of the public can participate were not immediately available.
The commission has not yet released a separate schedule on its own platforms, and the APP story did not include quotes from officials beyond the basic outline of the week.
SUPARCO's announcement was carried by the state-run news agency as the organisation prepares for the seven-day observance. More information is expected to be announced in the coming days, according to the information available so far.
