System references a missile in development similar to the two stage Soviet RSD-10 Pioneer missile class
RSD-10 Pioneer - 2.18m diameter (1st stage)
Range with MIRV warheads - 5,800 km (3 x 550KT)
Range with one 1.65 MT warhead - 7500KM
ICBM's have a range greater than 5500 KM

Pakistan has constructed a new horizontal test stand for large solid-fueled motors at its Attock missile development complex.
Pakistan has been developing a new solid-fueled missile to carry heavy payloads to Indian targets, possibly MIRVed. Effectively the same idea as the old Soviet Pioneer...
I think everyone is forgetting just how much assistance India's space program received from the West, especially the USA. The US basically declassified the Atlas program for ISRO - India's space program has always run ahead of its missile program thanks to US assistance - especially in technical...

Honestly, research and look into the AP1000, the americans sold China a dud and the americans themselves (or any western country) will not build or deploy it, apart from the two US examples which may or may not start up. It's more unsafe then the Hualong One (which is based on French M1...

Anyone geolocate this yet?

PakSAT-MM1R - (replacement for PakSAT-MM1) is due to be launched in 2024
Feasibility studies and funding/contracts for for PRSS-O2 were approved in the last PSDP - I expect it will have to be launched around 2023/2024 as PRSS-1 has a 7 year life. It will probably be launched with PakTES-1B.

No EO or SAR satellite in SSO or LEO is going to have a life of 10 to 12 years due to orbital decay. A 10 - 15 year life is reserved for geostationary communication satellites. At least outside of advanced countries.
There is no doubt this is an indigenous effort. It looks pretty similar to Turkey's unlaunched Lagari microsatellite or China's Kuaizhou satellite series. I expect it to be launched by a Pakistani space launch vehicle very similar to China's Kuaizhou-1/1A
Unless of course they are payloads on...
