The rocket sent seven satellites, including Pakistan's PRSC-EO2 satellite, into planned orbits.
The PRSC-EO2 satellite is equipped with high-resolution optical payloads. The remote sensing data it acquires will serve Pakistan in various fields such as land mapping, environmental and natural disaster monitoring, and natural resource protection.
This is the fourth time that the SD-3 rocket has undertaken a commercial launch mission with multiple satellites onboard.
