The announcement came in days after India’s ISRO successfully launched its second lunar mission Chandrayaan 2.

Chaudhry said the Pakistani Air Force will play a lead role in the selection process of the astronaut for the space mission.

“The Air force will be the custodian of the selection process. Globally pilots are selected for space missions,” he was quoted as saying by the Dawn News website.

He said that initially 50 pilots will be selected, from which the list will be brought down to 25 and then 10. “Ten pilots will be trained and eventually one pilot will be sent to space,” he said.

Last year, Pakistan launched two indigenously-built satellites into the orbit, using a Chinese launch vehicle.
