Unlike regular satellite cameras that capture only a few colours (like red, green, and blue), hyperspectral cameras capture hundreds of very narrow colour bands.<br \/>\nThis means they can detect tiny differences in light that the human eye, or even normal satellites, can\u2019t see. Because of this, scientists can use hyperspectral images to identify materials, detect changes in vegetation, find minerals, monitor pollution, or even study the atmosphere in much greater detail than before.<br \/>\nAccording to a statement from the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco), the launch is a \u201clandmark mission [which] represents a transformative milestone in Pakistan\u2019s national space programme, propelling the country into a new era of advanced space-based applications in agriculture, disaster management, urban development, and environmental monitoring.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Pakistan\u2019s space agency on Wednesday announced the upcoming launch of the country\u2019s first hyperspectral satellite (HS-1) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in China, scheduled for October 19.
