AeroFusion 2026 at National Incubation Center for Aerospace Technologies in Rawalpindi has announced three distinct programme additions for June 4, combining a personal fireside chat on zero gravity flight, a hands-on aircraft design workshop, and a technical session on CubeSat mission design into a day of programming that addresses the aerospace sector from the experiential, engineering, and space technology dimensions simultaneously. All three sessions are open for registration through their respective links and are designed to engage students, researchers, engineers, aviation enthusiasts, and aspiring space entrepreneurs across a range of entry points into the aerospace world.
The first session is an exclusive fireside chat featuring Hasaan Mohsin, who will share the story behind his zero gravity flight experience, covering the preparation involved, the challenges encountered, and what the experience of weightlessness actually feels like from the inside. Zero gravity flight represents one of the more visceral and rare intersections between aerospace technology and human experience, and a firsthand account from someone who has undergone the preparation and lived the experience offers a quality of insight that no technical description can replicate. For participants who are drawn to aerospace out of curiosity about what lies beyond the boundaries of ordinary flight, this conversation offers a rare and direct window into that territory. Registration for the fireside chat is available at the official link shared by NICAT Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/d5Mka6JT
The second session is a hands-on aircraft design workshop delivered by Ace Aeronautics, covering the fundamentals of aircraft design including engineering principles, structural considerations, propulsion systems, and the innovation processes that take a concept from initial idea through to a functional flying machine. The workshop is led by industry professionals who bring practical design and engineering experience to the session, giving participants direct access to the kind of applied knowledge that bridges the gap between academic aerospace education and the actual work of designing aircraft. Whether attending as a student encountering aircraft engineering for the first time or as an aspiring engineer looking to deepen their understanding of how the discipline works in practice, the Ace Aeronautics workshop offers a structured and accessible entry point into one of aerospace’s most foundational disciplines.

The third session is a workshop on CubeSat Mission Design featuring Talha Baig, who at 21 became the youngest Pakistani aerospace engineer to help launch a satellite into space and is currently a PhD researcher in astronautics. CubeSats, the small standardised satellites that have dramatically lowered the cost and complexity of accessing space for research, commercial, and educational purposes, have transformed what is possible for universities, startups, and emerging space programmes, and a workshop led by someone who has worked on an actual satellite launch brings a level of credibility and practical grounding to the subject that is rarely available outside of established space agencies and major research institutions. The session covers satellite systems fundamentals, mission planning, orbital operations, communication architecture, and the technologies driving modern space exploration, giving participants a comprehensive introduction to how CubeSat missions are conceived, designed, and executed. Registration for the CubeSat workshop is open at the link https://lnkd.in/dXvZc873 shared by NICAT alongside the session announcement.
Together the three sessions reflect the breadth of AeroFusion 2026’s programming ambition, which is to make aerospace accessible and engaging across the full spectrum of interest and expertise that the Pakistani aerospace community represents, from students encountering the field for the first time to researchers and engineers working at its frontier. NICAT is located on Old Airport Road in Rawalpindi, and all three June 4 sessions are supported by Ignite, the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, NETSOL Technologies, the National Aerospace Science and Technology Park, Air University, and Pakistan Aeronautical Complex Kamra.
