Satellite to deliver high-quality imaging capabilities and will bolster disaster management efforts .The satellite, it added, will deliver high-quality imaging capabilities to support a wide range of applications, revolutionising urban planning, infrastructure development, and regional planning by monitoring urban expansion and growth trends.
Furthermore, it will strengthen disaster management efforts through timely data for early warnings and rapid response to floods, landslides, earthquakes, and other hazards, while also aiding environmental protection by tracking glacier recession, deforestation, and climate change indicators.
The country's second remote sensing satellite after PRSS-1, will enhance agricultural productivity through precision farming, mapping of crop patterns, and improved water resource management, thereby contributing to food security.
In addition, it will play a strategic role in national development projects such as the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) by mapping transportation networks, identifying geohazard risks, and facilitating efficient resource allocation.
"Collectively, these capabilities will not only improve decision-making across multiple sectors but also promote sustainable socio-economic development and strengthen Pakistan’s technological autonomy," remarked Suparco.
