Pakistan, June 21 -- A football manufactured in Pakistan has achieved a historic milestone after it was tested in space aboard the International Space Station during a NASA experiment. The official FIFA World Cup 2026 match ball, known as Trionda, was used by astronauts to study its movement in a zero-gravity environment.

Astronauts carried out the experiment inside the ISS Cupola module, where large observation windows allowed them to closely monitor the floating football. The test aimed to observe how the ball behaves in microgravity, providing scientists with valuable data on motion, balance, and aerodynamic stability without Earth's gravitational pull.

Moreover, NASA explained that the experiment focuses on understanding how weight ...
