Pakistan to Launch Indigenous Satellite into Space

Pakistan All set to Launch Indigenous State of Art Satellite into Space: Officials

Islamabad:Pakistan has finalized to send another indigenous state of the art satellite into space to make stronger its position in space technology and a sum of Rs. 7.5 billion has been owed in the budget 2016-2017 for this program.
Pakistan is expected to be able to send the new satellite in space by late 2017. The head base of this satellite program to be set up in Punjab’s capital city Lahore while the Sub-Offices will be Functioned in Karachi, Sui, and Muzaffarabad. Work will also take off for the development of satellite station under Pakistan’s Space research commission SUPARCO. According to officials, the new project will get function in this financial year 2016-17.
The Pakistan’s neighboring countries, China, and India have left Pakistan far behind in quantity of satellites launched by them and they are taking enormous economic & defense payback from them. On the other side, Pakistan had sent only one satellite into space earlier. The induction of the new satellite will guide in the new uprising in the field of communication in Pakistan, besides bolstering country’s probability for satellite monitoring & achieving defense and Military targets. This program will also assist in ensuring a reasonable distribution of water among five provinces under 1991 water distribution accord.

A positive move in space sector water monitoring is a noble cause

 

[WaLeEdK2]

Let's hope for the best. Hopefully they stay on schedule to launch the satellite by late 2017.

 

[PakEye]

is this satellite will be launch from China or from Pakistani Rocket.

 

[Muhammad Omar]

hmmm 2017... let's c what happens

 

[ghauri05]

r we going t develop our own SLV or not?

A good move... some weeks ago I read somewhere that Danish universities are also launching something called Cubesats CubeSat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They are cheap and can give you a lot in return. I dont know anything about Pakistan programme, but I assume their budget isn't as big as India or China.... Start with something small and build on your experience... Many Countries can send these cubesats into orbit for you... a typical price to launch a cubesat is about 60.000 $.

Good luck.....

I wouldn't worry about SLV. At this point, I would be interested in seeing Pakistan develop its own SATCOM and SATNAV system. BDS is nice, but we need our own, at the minimum a regional constellation covering South Asia.

SATNAV system. BDS is nice, but we need our own, at the minimum a regional constellation covering South Asia.

Your wish is my command!
Say Goodbye To GPS! India's All Set To Switch To The Desi Navigation System Called Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS)

Indian GPS system will be fully functioning this year itself. It covers not just the entire South Asia but Central Asia, Middle East including parts of Saudi Arabia and East Asia uptil the Straits of Malacca.
This is the range of the system as it will be by the end of this year:

In a couple of years, as a start we will get Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan and hopefully Sri Lanka and Iran to start using the system alongside the Navstar GPS and GLONASS system.

is this satellite will be launch from China or from Pakistani Rocket.

Article is misleading in its title. China will launch.

Hopefully from a Indigenous system.

We can convert our Shaheen-2 into a SLV with a little change in its size. Its not a complicated matter for Pakistan anymore

A good move... some weeks ago I read somewhere that Danish universities are also launching something called Cubesats CubeSat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pakistan has already its one CubeSat in space launched in 2014 via Russia named as "ICube-1" operated by an Educational Institution in Pakistan.

Article is misleading in its title. China will launch.

Why china will launch. Hopefully we will launch it this time.

Indian budget is big?

If not complicated, then all scientist were sleeping in Pak?

 

[KingRaj]

The specifications of the satellite is extremely similar to VRSS satellite of Venezuela designed and launched by China for $145 million.

Government did not allocate budget. Scientists are well capable of doing this if they are provided with resources. Pakistan was first to start a space program in the region. Don't act cheap. You know well what Pakistani scientists are capable of. But you can't undertake advance research projects without funding.

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

I'm not really knowledgeable about space satellites - can someone tell me the what benefits and uses they have?
