Pakistan’s space program is set to achieve a historic milestone as the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) prepares to launch the country’s first indigenous electro-optical satellite. This cutting-edge satellite, designed and developed entirely in Pakistan, is expected to significantly enhance the nation’s capabilities in earth observation, disaster management, and national security.
The satellite, equipped with advanced electro-optical imaging technology, will provide high-resolution imagery for monitoring agricultural growth, urban planning, and environmental changes. Officials at SUPARCO highlighted that this satellite is a testament to Pakistan’s growing expertise in the space technology sector and reflects the government’s commitment to advancing the country’s scientific and technological landscape.
The satellite is expected to be launched into orbit in mid-2025, with extensive pre-launch tests currently underway. Experts believe this development will also pave the way for greater collaboration between Pakistan and other spacefaring nations.
