SUPARCO launched Pakistan’s first indigenous Electro-Optical (EO-1) satellite on Friday the 17 of January 2025, from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northern China. This satellite uses electro-optical sensors to collect data and images of the Earth’s surface by detecting and measuring reflected sunlight or emitted radiation. The PRSC-EO1 satellite will boost Pakistan’s ability to monitor and manage natural resources, respond to disasters and improve urban planning and agricultural development. With its launch the SUPARCO Remote Sensing Satellite fleet is further strengthened.
