PRSC-EO1 is an Electro-Optical Satellite developed by Pakistan's Space Agency (SUPARCO) . It was launched from China's Jiuquan Satellite Centre on 17 January 2025 by China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC), a subsidiary of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), The satellite is known to be Pakistan's first locally designed and manufactured satellite .

Background

The launch of PRSC-EO1 is part of a broader initiative under the "Space Vision 2040", which seeks to establish Pakistan self-reliant in satellite launching and development capabilities. Under this vision, SUPARCO announced a new program of three optical remote sensing satellites called PRSC-EOS and the PRSC-EO1 is first of three satellites.. Then, In 2022, the China Great Wall Industry Corporation reached an agreement with SUPARCO. providing multi-launch services for a SUPARCO satellite. In addition to that, CGWIC also provided Pakistani satellite with Telemetry, Tracking, and Command support for Launch and Early Orbit Phase.

Launch

PRSC-EO1 was launched on January 17, 2025, 12:07pm (Beijing Time) by Long March-2D (LM-2D) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia. The satellite was launched besides two other chinese satellites Tianlu 1 and Lantan 1. The official launch ceremony was held at the SUPARCO Complex in Karachi where the launch was broadcasted live.

Objectives

PRSC-EO1 is earth observation satellite. It's primary purpose is to monitor earth and support land mapping in agriculture, disaster management, urban planning and resource planning. PRSC-EO1 will also help in infrastructure tracking, natural resource conservation, environmental monitoring, , and providing real-time response to disasters .

Specifications

The Satellite is Pakistan's first (EO) electro-optical remote sensing satellite and is equipped with a high-resolution optical payload designed to capture multi-spectral images with a potential resolution of up to 1 meter.

The PRSC-EO1 is Pakistan's first domestically produced observation satellite. Launched on 17 January 2025, from China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre.

History

The PRSC-EO1 satellite is the result of a collaborative effort between Pakistan's Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) and China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). The project began several years ago to developed Pakistan's first indigenous Earth observation satellite.
