Remote sensing satellite will bring revolution in urban planning, disasters, food security and environmental protection through modern imaging capabilities. This satellite will also be helpful in climate change, management of water resources, agricultural mapping and forestry harvesting. ,
According to Sparko, the satellite will promote the correct agricultural strategy, which will increase the production of crops, while monitoring the development of infrastructure and urban proliferation will help to make the regional plan effective.
‘It will also strengthen the disaster behavior system, such as providing floods, ground harvesting and timely warnings of earthquakes. The satellite will play an effective role in the melting of glaciers and the supervision of forestry harvesting. ,
In a statement, Chairman Sparko, Mr. Muhammad Yusuf Khan said that “the remote sensing satellite would provide the basis of an integrated observation system, which will be helpful for fulfilling national priorities and sustainable economic and social development in various fields.”
