History was made on Friday 6th October 2023, when Monaco resident and Pakistan native Namira Salim became the first person to represent either nation on a journey into space.

Salim carried the flag of Monaco with her during the spaceflight and said upon her return: “Besides seeing the black sky and the beautiful Earth, which doesn’t show any borders or boundaries, we also saw the Half Moon, which is incredible.”
