China Sends Pakistani Earth Observation Satellite Into Orbit
(MENAFN) China successfully launched a Pakistani remote sensing satellite from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi province, northern China, on Saturday, a state-run news agency reported.
The satellite, designated PRSC-EO3, lifted off aboard a Long March-6 rocket at 8:15 pm local time (1215 GMT), subsequently reaching its planned orbit as confirmed by official reports.
The mission marks the 640th launch in China's Long March rocket series — a cornerstone of the country's steadily expanding space program.
PRSC-EO3 is designed to bolster Pakistan's Earth observation capabilities, with applications spanning natural resource monitoring, disaster management, and environmental tracking.
Pakistan's Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) hailed the launch of the indigenous EO-3 satellite as a landmark achievement in the country's drive toward technological self-reliance, highlighting its expected contributions to urban planning, food security, disaster response, and environmental monitoring.
A statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Army, further noted that the satellite is anticipated to play a key role in developing an integrated Earth observation system aligned with Pakistan's national development priorities.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif commended the scientists and engineers at SUPARCO for their contributions and extended recognition to China for its continued support in advancing Pakistan's space ambitions.
