Can India beat China at its game with common satellite for South Asia

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has ended months of dithering and announced the launch of a satellite that will be shared by several member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). As the needs of most South Asian countries is not substantial, India will be hoping that this satellite will encourage them to say no to China's plan to involve them in a similar initiative.

Pakistan has disengaged from the project, while Afghanistan has shown no interest. However, other SAARC members like Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh may find the Indian proposal tempting. The configuration of the two metric ton South Asian satellite avoids prickly areas like security and mapping.

It instead focuses on services that help in boosting social indexes like education, tele-medicine and disaster monitoring. The satellite was to be named 'SAARC Satellite.' However, Pakistan's walkout and Afghan disinterest led India to rename it the South Asian satellite. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the project at the 2014 SAARC summit in Kathmandu.

China's Great Wall Industry Corporation has already linked with a Sri Lankan company to build a satellite ground station in Kandy. It is also believed to be actively wooing Bangladesh for the same purpose. Indian intelligence agencies have been highlighting Chinese interest in partnering with Sri Lanka in the satellite arena since 2013.

"The SAARC Satellite will be launched in March of next year. Earlier it was scheduled for December this year," ISRO Chairman A. S. Kiran Kumar said. The satellite will have 12 Ku band transponders, with each dedicated to one country in the region.

India is the only country in the region with the capability to build and launch satellites for communications, Earth observations and space sciences. Islamabad had opposed the launch of the satellite as it did not want India to reserve certain rights. All other member countries of SAARC have ratified the proposal to launch the satellite.

Rely on India's low-cost space? Or rely on India funny load capacity? Sorry,in 1970 China the first satellite (Dong Fanghong 1) was sent into space. Still heavier than the current satellite of India...

The mass of that satellite was 173 Kg.

 

[Beast]

It will not happen. Those countries do not want an accuracy of 10km.

 

[SBUS-CXK]

The mass of that satellite was 173 Kg.

So？

If China try to beat India in South Asia. then India will try to beat China in South China Sea.

Wait for next 30 years. Your satellite is not good enough. What quality atomic clock has India produced?

So？

So your claim is untenable.
Nothing else.

Lets not go further on this.

Thank God and Shiva, they gave the best Indian mouth.

So, what is the weight of the largest satellite in India?

 

[ashok321]

Thank God and Shiva, they gave the best Indian mouth.


So, what is the weight of the largest satellite in India?

In tonnes now.

1975 satellite of Indian origin.
Double the Chinese mass:

If you feel you can provoke India and India will keep quite, then you are grossly wrong.

Thanks Buddha, Chinese have the so big mouths.

But the problem is India do not have the capacity to stir the Dragon nest. Show me what quality atomic clock India produced before you brag about producing a GPS system rival Chinese Beidou 2. I have show link and what atomic clock Chinese has and the second link even gives a credible international assessment of Beidou 2 performance. We Chinese dont brag and give empty promise.

Now its your turn to show me... Or you do not even know the need of atomic clock?

Dont ever think you can buy from western. We try that from them and they give us crap!
It will be the same for Indians.

As usual Chinese overestimate themselves and like to brag too much. I take everything that comes from Chinese with pinch of salt. I generally don't believe Chinese unless I checks the fact myself.

Typical response. No substance. No technology, cant prove and give empty reply. There is always reason why we Chinese says Indian loves bragging.

 

[Providence]

Of course India can. Just make sure scientists of different countries are made a part of the discussions unlike china which prefers to bring even the manual laborers from their home country to save on margins and damn the host country.
