3 out of the 5 have been launched we will probably see the 2 launched next year, we are going to see quite a few launched once the PIESET's are ready in the near future.

3 recent optical and 2 SARs if I am not mistaken. PRSS, Pausat and PakTES earlier. Plus 1 hyper-spectral imaging sat.

What are the 2 SAR satellites?

What are the 2 SAR satellites?

2 earth observation sats launched in the last 8-10 months are SAR satellites as I remember.

Congratulations to Pakistan again for launching yet another "civilian" satellite

We all know these are for military purposes to avoid sanctions

Military satellites are the eyes and ears of modern warfare, anyone who does not have military satellites is at the mercy of the aggressor

Pakistans revisit time over target will be down to 30 mins

Even although Pakistan has access to Chinese military satellites Pakistan plans to launch
54 military satellites in the next few years building up its own satellite constellations

Yeah no we are still several years out from having a enough satellites to have a revisit time of 30 minutes.

yes thats true

 

[Hopefully Pessimistic]

Is this the satellite built in partnership with the Chinese company?

Interestingly these images likely came from EO-1 @Bilal @Ak01 @Quwa

Might be too much to ask for but can anyone create a chart or table with list of all our active satelites , Names , year when launched , their purpose , their working mechanism like SAR , EO or Hyperspectral ? and maybe attach images .
This would greatly help this thread and make us understand how far are we from not relying on imagery providers say Maxar (ik its far fetched but still) . I would personally be really happy if it would happen , or yall can just provide me with the info i can make it after my exams ? @Bilal , @Pakistan Space Agency

Masha Allah ! Masha Allah!!

Important Lesson from Last year learned and being resolved as quickly as possible

will it be too much to ask - if we could know how many times it will visit Subcontinent daily?

With a 5 satellite constellation likely several times per day.

Perplexity summary:

Pakistan's active satellite fleet, managed by SUPARCO, includes ~10 operational satellites as of April 2026—mostly communications, EO, and recent hyperspectral/lunar additions.

Here is a complete table of active satellites with names, launch years, purposes, and mechanisms (EO=Electro-Optical, SAR=none active, Hyperspectral=recent).

| Name | Launch Year | Purpose | Mechanism

| PAKSAT-1R | 2011 | Communications (TV, internet, govt comms) | GEO Comms

| PAKSAT-MM1 | 2024 | Communications (broadband, broadcast) | GEO Comms

| PAKSAT-MM1R | 2024 | Communications (multimedia replacement) | GEO Comms

| PRSS-1 | 2018 | Remote sensing, land mapping, agriculture | EO (0.98m panchro, 2.89m multi) |

| PakTES-1A | 2018 | Technology evaluation, remote sensing | EO Tech Demo |

| PRSC-EOS / EO-1 | 2025 | Earth observation (high-res imaging) | EO Optical

| EO-2 | 2026 | Earth observation (2nd indigenous EO) | EO Optical |
| KS-1 | 2025 | Surveillance / earth observation | EO / Surveillance

| HS-1 | 2025 | Hyperspectral imaging (agri, env, disaster) | Hyperspectral |

| ICECUBE-Q / ICUBE-QAMAR | 2024 | Lunar orbiter (images, research) | Lunar Camera / Science |

This could help someone more knowledgeable come up with a real summary. I am pretty much ignorant on this.

So its 6 imaging satellites of various types + 2 more to be launched soon

2-3 communication satellites (not sure if PakSat-1R is still active)

And 1 lunar orbiter
