Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) launched the country’s first fully indigenous Electro-Optical (EO-1) satellite on Friday. The satellite has been launched from China’s Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre. The launch ceremony was telecasted at SUPARCO’s complex in Karachi, and Pakistanis witnessed the satellite’s journey into space live. The EO-1 satellite will enable Pakistan to monitor environmental changes and track natural disasters. The EO-1 will provide valuable insights into crop health, soil moisture, and weather patterns, helping to boost agricultural productivity.
