The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has announced the successful launch of Pakistan’s second indigenous Electro-Optical Satellite, EO-2.
The satellite was launched into orbit from the Yangjiang Sea Launch Center (YSLC) in China.
According to SUPARCO, EO-2 was conceived, designed, and integrated in Pakistan at the Satellite Research and Development Center (SRDC). The satellite was developed through indigenous research and systems engineering.
EO-2 has been designed to operate alongside the already orbiting EO-1 satellite. It is capable of observing the Earth under varying lighting conditions, enabling better interpretation of ground features and more reliable detection of changes. The combined operation of EO-1 and EO-2 is expected to improve imaging continuity and analytical accuracy at the national level.
With the launch of EO-2, Pakistan’s Earth observation satellite fleet has been further strengthened, increasing the availability of data for national needs. The mission also supports applied research, the development of skilled human resources, and the gradual expansion of domestic space infrastructure.
These systems are intended to support planning, governance, and effective resource management in line with national development priorities.
