PRSC-EO1 is the first satellite in Pakistan's PRSC-EOS optical remote sensing constellation. Built for SUPARCO, it is intended for land mapping, agricultural monitoring, environmental assessment, and disaster response.

This was the first Long March 2D flight to use the "dual satellites in series" launch configuration for multi-payload missions. The first stage was fitted with grid fins to control its descent impact area - part of CASC's series of controlled-reentry tests on Long March vehicles.
