A recently launched remote sensing satellite is now fully operational following its successful deployment in space. The satellite was launched last month from China’s Xichang Satellite Launch Center and has since established consistent communication with ground stations. It is now actively capturing high-resolution images and transmitting data, significantly improving the availability and reliability of vital information for various sectors within the country.
This satellite will provide advanced imaging capabilities that support urban planning, infrastructure growth, and regional development by monitoring urban expansion and growth patterns. It also plays a crucial role in disaster management by offering timely data for early warnings and rapid responses to floods, landslides, earthquakes, and other natural hazards. Additionally, it contributes to environmental conservation by tracking glacier retreat, deforestation, and climate change indicators.
As Pakistan’s second remote sensing satellite following PRSS-1, it aims to boost agricultural productivity through precision farming, crop mapping, and better water resource management, thereby supporting food security initiatives. It will also bolster major development projects like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), assisting in mapping transportation networks, identifying geohazard risks, and enabling more efficient resource distribution.
Suparco emphasizes that these enhanced capabilities will improve decision-making across multiple sectors, promote sustainable socio-economic development, and reinforce the country’s technological independence.
