🇵🇰 A day of pride, humility, and gratitude! Pakistan marks another success in space! ✌️ Pakistan has successfully launched its latest remote sensing satellite into space from China's Xichang Satellite Launch Centre (XSLC). This is a major milestone in the country's growing space programme. The new satellite is expected to support national capabilities in Earth observation, agricultural monitoring, and environmental analysis. The satellite will also contribute to geospatial and monitoring of strategic initiatives such as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), assist with regional planning, and support natural resource management efforts. The satellite will also help identify transportation networks and geographical hazards. #CPECinSpace #PakistanInOrbit #PakChinaFriendship #AhsanIqbal #SUPARCO #SatelliteLaunch @betterpakistan @CathayPak
