That momentum carried forward with PakTES-1A and PRSS-1 in 2018, reinforcing the strategic partnership with China in advancing space science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, PakSat-MM1 brought high-speed internet to underserved areas, while the launch of iCube Qamar, a student-built satellite from the Institute of Space Technology (IST), captured stunning images of the lunar surface, showcasing the innovation and promise of Pakistan\u2019s young scientists on a global stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most notably, in January 2025,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brecorder.com\/news\/40342592\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pakistan launched its first<\/a>&nbsp;fully indigenous satellite,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brecorder.com\/news\/40343239\/pakistan-launches-first-home-made-observation-satellite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Electro-Optical Satellite EO-1<\/a>, developed entirely by Pakistani engineers and scientists. Designed for agriculture, disaster monitoring, and environmental analysis, EO-1 stood as a bold symbol of Pakistan\u2019s growing technological self-reliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, with the launch of the latest remote sensing satellite, Pakistan reaffirms its resolve to harness space technology for national progress, sustainable development, and global recognition- a proud moment in our journey from aspiration to achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference Link:- <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brecorder.com\/news\/40374782\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.brecorder.com\/news\/40374782<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has announced to launch Pakistan\u2019s Remote Sensing Satellite (PRSS) on Thursday (July 31), from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center (XSLC) in China.
