The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has successfully launched Pakistan’s second indigenous Electro-Optical satellite, EO-2, from the Yangjiang Seashore Launch Centre (YSLC) in China.
SUPARCO stated that this milestone underscores Pakistan’s growing capabilities in satellite development and the strengthening of its national space program.
EO-2 was designed, engineered, and integrated in Pakistan at SUPARCO’s Satellite Research and Development Centre (SRDC). Developed through in-house research and systems engineering, the satellite demonstrates national expertise in satellite design, payload integration, testing, and mission readiness.

The satellite is intended to operate in coordination with the previously launched EO-1, observing Earth under various illumination conditions to enable better interpretation of surface features and more accurate change detection.
Together, EO-1 and EO-2 enhance imaging continuity and analytical precision, providing improved data availability for national applications and strengthening Pakistan’s Earth observation capabilities.
