Pakistan’s Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) is getting ready to send a new remote-sensing satellite into space on July 31. The launch will take place from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in China.
This satellite will help Pakistan watch the Earth more closely from space. It will be useful in many areas, like helping farmers get better information for crops, supporting cities with better planning, and keeping an eye out for natural disasters such as floods, landslides, or earthquakes.
In addition, this satellite will help monitor the environment. It will track changes like melting glaciers, loss of forests, and other environmental issues. This information will help experts make better decisions to protect nature and manage natural resources more wisely.
The new launch is part of SUPARCO’s big plan called Vision 2047. This plan aims to build Pakistan’s space program and make it stronger for the future. The new satellite will join other Pakistani satellites already in space, like PRSS-1 and EO-1. Together, they will help improve Pakistan’s space technology and support the goals set out in the National Space Policy.
Having more satellites will mean that Pakistan can get its own important data instead of depending on other countries. It will also help scientists and students learn more about space and the Earth.
This step is another sign that Pakistan is working hard to develop its own space program and use modern technology to solve problems at home.
