Pakistan to launch new remote sensing satellite from China on July 31

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s latest remote sensing satellite is scheduled to be launched on July 31 from China’s Xichang Satellite Launch Center.

According to a spokesperson for SUPARCO, the satellite will assist in crop monitoring, accurate agricultural data collection, and urban planning. It will also help issue early warnings for natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, and landslides.

The spokesperson added that the satellite will play a key role in tracking glacier melt and deforestation. It will also support monitoring of national development projects, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

This new satellite is expected to be a major milestone in environmental monitoring and natural resource management. Alongside PRSS-1 and EO-1, it will strengthen Pakistan’s remote sensing satellite fleet.

The launch marks a practical step toward achieving SUPARCO’s Vision 2047 and reflects the goals of the national space policy.
