PRSS-1 has played a pivotal role in environmental monitoring, resource management, and disaster response, providing invaluable data.
Meanwhile, PakTES-1A, developed domestically, underscores Pakistan’s growing prowess in satellite technology.
Addressing the occasion, Chairman SUPARCO highlighted the pivotal milestones attained through these satellites and reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to advancing its space program.
“The data and insights gathered from PRSS-1 and PakTES-1A have made substantial contributions to national development and scientific research,” he emphasized.
“On this milestone, SUPARCO expresses gratitude to all partners, scientists, and engineers whose dedication ensured the success of these missions, laying a robust groundwork for future advancements in Pakistan’s space endeavors,” the Chairman concluded.
