Pakistan’s advanced communication satellite, PAKSAT MM1, has been launched into space on Thursday in collaboration with China, marking Islamabad’s second satellite in orbit.
Launched from China’s Xichang Satellite Launch Center (XSLC), the satellite will aid Pakistan’s digital transition by providing internet access to remote areas, according to the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco).
The satellite, which will take about four days to reach space, is anticipated to help establish an advanced communication network, meeting the telecom sector’s growing demands. Its advanced capabilities will address the rising need for high-speed internet and seamless connectivity.
