Pakistan marked a significant milestone in its space programme on Thursday with the successful launch of its second indigenous Earth Observation Satellite (EO-2) from China’s Yangjiang Seashore Launch Centre.<\/p>\n
Developed by the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), the EO-2 satellite is expected to enhance Pakistan’s earth observation capabilities, providing high-resolution imagery for critical applications such as national development planning, natural resource management, and environmental monitoring.<\/p>\n
The satellite will also support urban expansion efforts, disaster management, climate analysis, and strategic decision-making.<\/p>\n
SUPARCO officials hailed the launch as a major achievement, emphasising that EO-2’s addition to Pakistan’s satellite fleet will improve data continuity, coverage, and precision.<\/p>\n
The successful development and launch of EO-2 underline Pakistan’s growing technical expertise and self-reliance in advanced satellite technology, marking a key step in the country’s space journey.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif\u00a0congratulated\u00a0the nation on the satellite’s successful launch and also paid\u00a0tribute to the scientists and researchers who worked on it.<\/p>\n
