Pakistan's second indigenous satellite EO-2 successfully launched

Pakistan has successfully launched its second indigenous satellite, EO-2, into space in another major breakthrough in the field of space technology. The satellite was launched from China’s Yangjiang Seashore Launch Center under Suparco, which is being considered a major milestone for the country’s space capabilities.

The EO-2 satellite will improve the Earth observation and imaging capabilities, which will enable effective monitoring of agricultural monitoring, urban planning and climate change. The data obtained through it will help in national planning and better utilization of natural resources.

The satellite will help in reducing losses by providing timely information during natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, while its role will also be important in the areas of governance and strategic planning. The indigenously developed EO-2 reflects Pakistan’s rapid progress towards self-reliance in satellite technology.
