Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite System - PRSSS News & Update

[bloo]

So is it, or is it not like the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS)???????

No. It's not a navigation satellite. It's an optical imagery satellite.

Rs.3.25bn earmarked for NESCOM, SUPARCO projects
Thursday, 28 June 2012
ISLAMABAD: The government would spent Rs.3.25 billion for completion of development projects including the Phase-I of National Electronics Complex of Pakistan and New Gawadar International Airport besides various projects of Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO).

According to official sources, a total of Rs.3.25 billion have been earmarked for the development projects of Defence Division and Suparco under Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) for the year 2012-13.

Out of the total allocation, Rs.717.078 will be spent on the projects being completed by the SUPARCO.

Under the programme, Rs.1.347 billion have been allocated for Phase-I of the National Electronics Complex of Pakistan (NESCOM) while an amount of Rs.600 million will be available for completion of New Gawadar International Airport (NGIA) in Balochistan province.

Similarly, Rs.405 million have been kept for Water Distribution Network for Rawalpindi Cantonment Board and Chaklala Cantonment Board based on Khanpur Dam Water Source (Phase-III).

The development projects of SUPARCO included, development of a Compact Antenna Test Range, Development of Various Laboratories for National Satellite Development Program, Development of Logistic Support Facilities for National Satellite Development Programme, Altitude and Orbital Control System Centre, Development of a Satellite Assembly Integration and Test Facility, Remote Sensing Date Transmission Facility and Development of Satellite Environmental Validation and Testing Facility.

We don't have any navigation satellites (multiple sats are required for navigation). GPS is an American navigation satellite system. Its signal is available all over the world provided you have a device that can acquire its signals (any modern smartphone will do).

the current focus is also not on developing a global or even regional navigation system but we are just working to get better know how of remote sensing satellite imaginary, SAR systems etc for both military as well as civilian commercial use.

but im using nokia 5800, it show no gps coverage.

To be honest, the Nokia 5800 is a crappy phone. It takes ages to acquire a GPS signal and is generally very slow. You should get a good android phone or an iPhone.

PAK should just develop one launch vehicle. At least then you guys can put satellites at low orbits and won't have to depend on
chinese launch vehicle. Self-sufficiency is always good. For heavier geo-stationary satellites you can count on china.

SLV already under development:

PRSSS is on scheduled for a mid 2014 launch and will be launched from China. IN mean time, we are also getting access to Global Navigation Satellite System through China that will be used for both civilian and military navigation!

this will be one application!

terrain imaging with military grade details and accuracy will be used in all TERCOM guided/enabled equipment.

the US C-130 Talon-I and Talon-II uses pulse Doppler radars and TERCOM to fly at very very low altitudes (30 to 50m in cases) to avoid radar detection.
Our Babur and RAAD missile both have TERCOM and it seem at the moment we are getting terrain images from Beidou navigation system for these but with the launch of PPRSS we will be able to do this at home

Noob question : Can TERCOM guidance be jammed or blocked *or whatever the proper term ought to be* to render our cruise missiles either less efficacious or outright redundant ?

I really hoped that we could launch it ourselves, no sign of development of a SLV so far
