The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) announced on Monday the upcoming launch of the country's Indigenous Electro-Optical (EO-1) Satellite from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre (JSLC), China, on January 17.
It said that the launch reflected Suparco's dedication and expertise in advancing Pakistan's technological capabilities in space science and innovation. "This indigenously developed satellite represents a significant achievement in Pakistan's space technology journey," it added.
The EO-1 satellite would enhance the country's ability to monitor and manage natural resources, predict and respond to natural disasters, support food security, and drive economic growth through informed decision-making and sustainable development.
The satellite would offer substantial benefits across various sectors. In agriculture, it would enable precision farming by monitoring crops, assessing irrigation needs, predicting yields, and supporting food security initiatives.
For the urban development, the EO-1 would assist in tracking infrastructure growth, managing urban sprawl, and helping city and regional planning efforts.
