Pakistan’s maiden remote sensing satellite and technology evaluation satellite have successfully completed six years in orbit, marking a significant milestone in the country’s space exploration endeavors. According to a spokesperson from SUPARCO, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission, images captured by the technology evaluation satellite Pak TES One have been released, showcasing various locations in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.
The satellite’s data has been instrumental in supporting national development initiatives and advancing scientific research across various fields. This achievement underscores Pakistan’s growing capabilities in space technology and its commitment to leveraging satellite data for socio-economic progress.
Significant strides have also been reported in Pakistan’s broader space program development. The launch of PRSS One and Pak TES One satellites from China’s Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on July 9, 2018, marked a pivotal moment in enhancing the country’s space infrastructure and capabilities.
Overall, the successful operation of these satellites highlights Pakistan’s dedication to space exploration and its ongoing efforts to harness space technology for national development and scientific advancement.
