Pakistan Eyes Climate Change with Chinese-Launched Satellite
Pakistan successfully launched a remote sensing satellite from China on July 31, 2025. This marks a significant step in the nation’s space program.
The satellite, launched under the URAAN initiative, will play a crucial role in monitoring climate change impacts. This includes tracking deforestation and assessing flood risks.
The launch underscores the deepening space cooperation between Pakistan and China. The project is supported by the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO).
This development holds immense importance for Pakistan, given its vulnerability to extreme weather events. The data gathered will aid in disaster preparedness and resource management. The success also signals a significant leap forward for Pakistan’s indigenous space capabilities, strengthening its technological prowess on the global stage.
