​Pakistan’s first Remote Sensing Satellite (PRSS-1) and Pakistan’s indigenous Technology Evaluation Satellite (PakTES-1A) were successfully launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre, China on 9th of July 2018. After the successful tests in the orbit, the satellites are fully operational and today, the control of PRSS-1 Satellite has been successfully transferred to Ground Control Stations in Pakistan.

The Honourable President and Prime Minister of Islamic Republic of Pakistan have also expressed the hopes that the launching and operationalization of these satellites will add to the confidence of our space engineers and related technical personnel, and the services rendered by these would be instrumental in improving socio-economic development of the Country.
