Walai kum salam, Sorry, I am results orientated and immune to excuses.
Rehbar 1:
Rehbar 1 was the first rocket to be launched into space from Pakistan. It was launched on the 7th of June, 1962. This made Pakistan the 1st country in South Asia and the 10th in the world to develop and launch a rocket into space.
Rehbar 1 was a 2 staged, solid fuel rocket that was the first of many to be launched by Pakistan over the next 10 years. The rocket also ended up playing an important role when it came to Pakistan developing it's missile programme. The rocket was designed to measure the wind velocities and wind shears in the upper atmosphere, and was created because NASA realised that the Indian Ocean region was a black hole of data relating to the wind structure of the upper atmosphere which was badly needed for NASA's satellite/Apollo programmes. NASA offered all countries on the area of the Indian Ocean help to establish rocket ranges in order to obtain such data on the condition of fully sharing it with NASA. Pakistan accepted.
In a period of nine months, the Pakistani team was established, their training completed in US facilities, the rocket range equipment and instrumentation procured, the scientific payloads selected, construction of the rocket range at Sonmiani completed and the first rocket successfully launched. This was a unique achievement that even surprised NASA's specialists. Pakistan was the first amongst all developing (including Brazil, China and India) and Islamic countries to carry out a scientific rocketry program.

Not you, in fact, most of you on this forum are very nice. If anything, some of the Pakistanis on this forum need to be humbled.
When Wlady was running the show things were going in the right direction after him we lost track sadly
