[Safriz]

ISLAMABAD, Oct 10 (APP): Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) acquired by Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), with the assistance from China,will become functional by June 2013. GNSS is a set of navigation satellites orbiting around the earth and providing geo-spatial positioning service worldwide. The system allows a small electronic receiver to determine its location using time signals transmitted from these navigation satellites.

^^ I have emailed SUPARCO-
If i get a response i will post here.
I can speculate thatits a Pakistan specific augmentation satellite,
Similar to india's GPS augmentation.

hHope your first 2 lines are not sarcastic . If not, then its news to me.

Next two lines, I agree with your speculation.

By 2013,SUPARCO, will probably build groun stations to measure Beidou position errors for different areas in Pakistan for being uploaded to satellite and then re teansmitted to Beidou users within Pakistan..
That will increase Beidou accuracy to within centimeters.
Hint : GPS Augmentation.

@Krait,no i wasnt being sarcastic.
One of my class mates work there..although he is useless at replying to emails or attending calls.

That means Pakistan can move ahead with UCAVs

When we will be able to build facilities in Pakistan to assemble satellites at home. I wished we will be doing that soon.

Good to see Pakistan is getting this Gps. Man I am impressed, whenever India develops any technology, Pakistan always figures out ways to neutralise it from somewhere. . This competition is good for both nations.

Btw please share new details if come.

You mean like this? :

A friend's relative works there and all he said was that it was for some satellite thing.

 

[Safriz]

there will be more than one stations

In Near future I'm seeing our Ballistic missiles (Shaheen 1 A and Shaheen 2) and Cruise Missiles using satellite guidance chips in their navigational systems.
