Islamabad, [Date] – In a landmark achievement for its space program, Pakistan has successfully launched its Remote Sensing Satellite (PRSS) from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre (XSLC) in China. The launch marks a significant step in strengthening the country’s capabilities in earth observation, disaster management, and sustainable development.
Developed by Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) in collaboration with China’s CETC and MICROSAT, the satellite will provide high-resolution, 24/7 imaging. This data will support critical sectors such as agriculture, urban planning, climate monitoring, and natural disaster response. The satellite’s advanced technology will enhance food security, water resource management, and environmental conservation efforts.
The successful launch reinforces Pakistan’s position among space-faring nations and highlights the strong technological partnership between Pakistan and China. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar praised the joint efforts of scientists and engineers from both countries, calling the mission a testament to innovation and international cooperation.
This milestone aligns with Pakistan’s vision for a technologically advanced future, leveraging space technology for socio-economic progress. With enhanced satellite imaging, the country is now better equipped to tackle challenges like deforestation, climate change, and infrastructure development.
As Pakistan continues to expand its space capabilities, this achievement paves the way for future advancements in space exploration and national development. The PRSS launch not only signifies scientific progress but also promises tangible benefits for the nation’s sustainable growth.
