Virgin Cosmic, a California-based spaceflight organization founded in 2004, will launch its fourth commercial space flight on Friday with three space recreationists from the US, Joined Realm and Pakistan's Namira Salim, who will make her mark on the world as the first Pakistani spacewalker.
Before that, she single-handedly hoisted the nation's flag at the North and South Poles in 2007 and 2008, earning the title of the primary Asian woman to skydive from Mount Everest.
Namira Salim's achievements by award
In 2011, the Government of Pakistan formally recognized Salim's achievements by awarding her the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, or Decoration of Greatness. The budding space explorer also received the Femina Center East Ladies Grant in 2016 for her energy for space research.
"Spaceflight #Galactic04 is currently taking place on the second day of our flight window - Friday October 6th to give our group another day to complete vehicle preparation and inspection. We expect to lift off in a few days!"
In a meeting with Beduin News last month, Salim said she signed an agreement with Virgin Cosmic and bought a ticket in 2006.
"However, who knew it would take 17 years for this fantasy to emerge," said the explorer, who traveled to Pakistan last month to formally receive the Green Banner to take with her on the space venture.
"It will be a great privilege for me to fly the green flag high."
Salim said she paid $200,000 for the ticket in 2006, but the ongoing cost of the flight was $450,000.Her teaching course was booked at a private spaceport in New Mexico, near her American and English travel kin.
"Our main goal is to break the cycle and reinvent the climate," she said.

"Such flights regularly require nine to 11 minutes of ground-up rocket launches. Regardless, our flight is different because our spacecraft will be carried to 50,000 feet by the mothership before it is delivered, ignites the rocket engine to reach space from this height." ."
Salim got some information about her energy for the universe and said that it was her life as a young dream because her father, a soldier, introduced her to the North Star and showed her celestial bodies in the northern sky.
"I generally say space is in my DNA," she said. "When I was extremely young, I let my folks know that I'd rather not play with toys. I needed to go into space, and when I was 14, my dad got me my most memorable telescope."
She said that Pakistan should follow the example of new space countries such as the United Bedouin Emirates and Saudi Arabia, which are opening up to the commercial space and daring to open the door for human space flights.
"The UAE and Saudi Arabia have taken great strides to embrace the new space age and commercialize space," she said.
"The UAE's most memorable space traveler and Saudi Arabia's new missions, including the sending of both male and female space explorers, have been a motivation for their entire countries."
By the time she got some information about her preliminary arrangements, Salim said she was working on improving the three-unit block satellite in a collaborative effort with college students.
The drive, she said, was managed by her non-profit organization the Space Trust and supported by the Assembled Countries.
"Known as 'Zero G 2030', the undertaking deals with a major mission of harmony to space, where we will deliver the message of harmony in this space-embedded research satellite, along with the collaboration of two college accomplices, the College of Nairobi in Kenya and the College. from Arizona in the US,” said Salim.
