Uzma Berhad has secured a contract for Malaysia’s Pembangunan Satelit Penderiaan Jauh Negara (PSPJN) (Remote Sensing Satellite) project. 

The PSPJN, a Private-Public Partnership project (PPP), is a concession project spanning 8 years, comprising 3 years to develop and 5 years operating in low Earth orbit. It is a vital component of Malaysia’s National Space Policy 2030 (MSE2030), aimed at advancing the nation’s space infrastructure and increasing its self-reliance in obtaining crucial data for key sectors such as agriculture, disaster management, environmental monitoring, and national security.  

PSPJN is expected to deliver high-resolution, multispectral imagery to support national security for strategic and high-value applications across sectors, including security, resource mapping, monitoring, agriculture, disaster response, and environmental monitoring. Uzma’s subsidiary, Geospatial AI Sdn Bhd (GeoAI), a leading geospatial intelligence services provider, will be in charge of the technical and operational aspects of the satellite. With extensive expertise in satellite technology, remote sensing, and geospatial data solutions, GeoAI is well-positioned to ensure the successful development, launch, and deployment of the satellite, meeting the highest national standards for quality, reliability, and performance.
