Pakistan has officially launched its first hyperspectral satellite, designed to enhance environmental monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management efforts. The satellite utilizes advanced sensors to analyze the spectral signatures of light reflected from the Earth’s surface, providing detailed information beyond traditional imagery. This technology will enable more precise data collection for tasks such as tracking deforestation, assessing urban growth patterns, and identifying potential hazards before they escalate. The launch marks a significant step in Pakistan’s efforts to improve its data capabilities for strategic decision-making.
