Pakistan is preparing to launch an advanced hyperspectral satellite next month, which will assist in exploring underground mineral resources and enhance research in agriculture, forestry, wildlife, flood monitoring, glacier melt, air pollution, and smog.

SUPARCO Chairman Muhammad Yousaf Khan said, “The hyperspectral satellite, scheduled for launch in October, will analyze different wavelengths of light reflected from the Earth’s surface, generating precise information about minerals, vegetation, soil, and water quality. Surveys that previously required years and cost millions can now be completed in just days and at a fraction of the expense. This advancement will enable Pakistan to independently map its mineral reserves and pave the way for more efficient use of natural resources.”
