This was the second flight of the modified Kuaizhou-1A, with upgrades to its first and second stages as well as a redesigned payload fairing to improve its payload performance. PRSS?01 was developed by Pakistan’s space agency, SUPARCO, in collaboration with a Chinese organization, and joins two other Pakistani satellites to provide civil remote sensing data.
