Pakistan to launch satellite next year

ISLAMABAD, Jul 19 (APP): Pakistan is planning to replace PAKSAT-1 with a new communication satellite PAKSAT-1R and hopefully it will be launched on August 14, 2011. he satellite will support all conventional and modern Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) applications, will use the geostationary orbit, and acquire a constant height of 36,000 Km above the surface of earth crust. Talking to APP Manager PAKSAT (SUPARCO) Waseem-ul Hassan said that the satellite will have a total of up to 30 transponders and life time of the satellite would be 15 years.

Giving some more details about the satellite,he said it will carry the communication pay-load that consists of internet broadband, TV channels distributions, tele-medicine and tele-education.
He mentioned that work on the project is started with full bloom, and the measurements are taken to make it perfect and a long term loans are also made for this project.

Manager PAKSAT said as per the technology achievements in the region, Pakistan has to make fast and competitive progress in the technology of space sciences. Some more satellites would also be launched in the next years by Pakistan,he added. “It is a right time for Pakistan to make such progresses while the eyes of world are on us”.

In future such contributions, that make the Pakistan in every field a proud one, will be made and always be made for not only to assist Pakistani nation but to give a big helping hand to whole humanity, he maintained.

Why is this in WMD & Missiles section ?

This is a progressive development in a regressive thread.

Although the satellite is currently underdeveloped in China; the SUPARCO scientists and Chinese scientists are closely collaborating in the development of satellite. SUPARCO scientists successfully indigenously developed the prototype of PAKSAT-1R. The project was aimed to enhance the know-how of young scientists and engineers about communication satellite engineering. Prototype Paksat-1R is a communication satellite, which has three C-band Transponders as the communication payload. All the subsystems have been designed and developed indigenously. Integration and testing have also been performed. The project was completed in three years time


Mass - 1,050 kilograms

Carrier rocket CZ-3B better known as March 3B

Great news. The satellite program needs to speed up satellites over the next few years to make up for the delays.

Go Pakistan Go !!!

Allah Ho Akbar

 

[gowthamraj]

It is going to be launched with bangladesh sati

 

[shekhar]

a bit confusion, is pakistan going to launch the satellite or make the satelite which will be launched using some third party vehicle (china)?
i mean is pak going to make satellite +launch vehicle or only satellite?

The origins of our most advanced missle lies in civilian SLV collaboration with NASA.
