Summary
The PRSC-EO1 satellite is a Pakistani Earth observation satellite designed for resource management, disaster monitoring, and urban planning. It has a mass of 500 kg, measures 2 meters in length and 1.5 meters in diameter, and features a high-resolution optical payload for imaging the Earth's surface. The satellite was launched on January 17, 2025, from China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre using a Chang Zheng 2D launch vehicle.
The PRSC-EO1 is equipped with solar panels to provide power for its operations, and uses X-band frequencies for data transmission. Its three-axis stabilization system ensures stable imaging capabilities. The satellite has a designed mission life of five years, during which it will enhance Pakistan's capabilities in natural resource monitoring, disaster management, and urban planning.
The PRSC-EO1 is the first indigenous Earth observation satellite built by SUPARCO (Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission), Pakistan's space agency. Its successful launch marks an important milestone for Pakistan's space program, with plans to establish a constellation of satellites for various applications in the future.
