KARACHI: The Research Commission of the National Space Agencies and the Upper Aviation (Soparko) announced that the latest remote sensing satellite was launched in China’s Zacking Satellite Launch Center (XSLC), identifying an important milestone in the country’s expansionist space program.
A spokesman for Soprok said that the new launch satellite will increase land observations, environmental analysis and national capabilities in agricultural surveillance.
The mission was carried out in partnership with China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) and Microscope China.
This satellite will also help with the geographical and monitoring of strategic measures such as China-Pakistan Economic Transit (CPEC), supporting regional planning, and supporting natural resources management efforts.
Sopko’s spokesman added that satellite transport will help identify networks and geographical risks.
According to the agency, this is Pakistan’s second remote sensing satellite after the PRSS-1, which was launched in 2018. With the rise of the new satellite, five Pakistani satellites are now operating in orbit, which is strengthening national capability in space -based surveillance and destruction.
This launch has emerged as part of Pakistan’s broader national space policy and vision 2047. According to Sopko, the new satellite is equipped with the latest imaging system and will help to predict and reduce natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, land slides and glaciers melt.
Sparko said that the satellite is equipped with an advanced imaging system that is capable of obtaining 24 -hour data, designed to assist in precision agriculture, destruction response, urban planning and climate monitoring.
Federal Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal congratulated the nation on the successful launch and praised the team, engineers and scientists for their success. Iqbal said that the satellite has successfully reached its orbit and expressed his strong support for China’s strong support for making the mission possible.
In a message shared on X, Iqbal described the launch as “another European of Pakistan” and called it “another proud moment for our nation”. He said that the mission “reflects the dedication and virtue of Soparco and his magnificent team, and emphasized that this milestone” not only strengthens Pakistan’s capabilities in space research but also leads to Pakistan -China Iron Brother. “
He added that Pakistan would restore its leadership role in space technology and revealed that next year, with Chinese aid, a Pakistani astronaut would be sent into space. Iqbal also announced that Pakistan’s purpose is to successfully complete its program to reach the moon by 2035.
In a government press release, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the launch as “an important milestone for space search and technological development”, which confirmed Pakistan’s commitment to innovation and sustainable development.
Earlier, Sparko had said that satellite would play a vital role in improving resource management, supporting health -related agriculture and facilitating urban and regional planning.
The mission is based on a decade progress since the start of the Pakistan -1R in 2011, followed by Pockets -1 and PRSS -1 in 2018. In 2024, the country won another milestone with the high -speed internet to remote areas.
Icob Qamar, a lunar satellite, made from Pakistan’s first student, also made global headlines with moon surface images.
Recently, in January 2025, Pakistan launched its first fully satellite, electro-optical satellite EO-1, which was fully developed by local engineers and scientists, designed for agriculture, destruction and environmental analysis.
