PRSS-1 is tailored to meet Pakistan’s needs for high resolution imagery required by users for socio-economic development of the country, especially in the fields of land mapping, agriculture classification and assessment, urban and rural planning, environmental monitoring, natural disaster monitoring/management, water resource management and others. PRSS-1 imagery is also being used for monitoring and planning of mega infrastructure development carried out under CPEC. Moreover, the imagery collected from PRSS-1 will also aid the ongoing national afforestation campaign and identify suitable freshwater storage sites.
