Pakistan has launched a new remote satellite from China’s Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The launch took place under the supervision of the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO). This marks Pakistan’s second successful launch of a remote sensing satellite, the first having occurred in July 2018.
The new satellite will support real-time monitoring of land, weather, and environmental changes. It will also assist in urban planning, disaster response, and agriculture management. Officials say it will enhance data collection for CPEC infrastructure and national security projects.
Additionally, the satellite will track deforestation, glacier melting, and water flow patterns. This will help authorities take timely action against climate threats. The satellite cannot predict earthquakes, but it will estimate post-quake damage and identify risk zones for future planning.
National Benefits and Accessibility
According to SUPARCO, this satellite will be available for use by all relevant government departments. It will improve coordination during natural disasters by providing quick access to geospatial data. Institutions can now request satellite imagery directly through SUPARCO for their planning and operational needs.
The satellite launch also shows Pakistan’s commitment to advancing its space capabilities. Experts believe that increasing satellite use will support smart governance and sustainable development.
Moreover, real-time satellite imagery will help in assessing flood patterns and guiding emergency relief. With data-driven support, provinces can make informed decisions to protect lives and resources.
In conclusion, this successful mission not only highlights technological progress but also strengthens Pakistan’s role in the regional space landscape. The remote satellite will be vital in building a resilient and well-informed future for the country.
