Mission Overview

China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation successfully launched the PRSC-EO3 satellite on April 25, 2026, at 12:15 PM UTC from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. The mission represents a collaborative earth observation effort between Pakistan's space agency SUPARCO and China, continuing their joint remote sensing programme. PRSC-EO3 is an electro-optical imaging satellite designed to provide earth observation capabilities for Pakistan's government, completing the nation's three-satellite Earth observation constellation.

The Long March 6 rocket, a solid-fueled launch vehicle operated by CASC, lifted off from the Taiyuan facility in Shanxi province. This site has established itself as a key launch center for Chinese and international space missions, regularly supporting scientific and commercial payloads.

The launch concluded successfully, placing PRSC-EO3 into its intended orbit. The mission marks another milestone in the China-Pakistan space partnership, strengthening bilateral cooperation in remote sensing technology and Earth science applications. With this launch, Pakistan's electro-optical remote sensing constellation is now complete, enhancing the nation's capabilities for land monitoring, natural resource management, and disaster response operations.
