Pakistan will launch its new remote sensing satellite on July 31 from China’s Xichang Satellite Launch Center, the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) announced. The satellite is expected to significantly enhance the country’s capabilities in agriculture, disaster management, and urban development.
The advanced satellite will provide critical data for crop monitoring, flood and earthquake warnings, and landslide detection, helping authorities take preventive measures. It will also support China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects by offering real-time monitoring of infrastructure development.
A SUPARCO spokesperson stated that the satellite marks a major milestone in environmental protection and natural resource management, strengthening Pakistan’s space technology for sustainable development.
