making a satellite is no hard job. u havnt achieved nothing by putting together some remote sensing sensors and cameras. i would like pak to make its own slv and a rocket that can launch heavy satellites in space. if pak wants to lead muslims this should be done. iran is going ahead at a huge pace.

just got a chance to talk to a major service provider based in Faisalabad yesterday. They said that the results of PAKSAT-1R were absolutely awesome with good picture quality, least delay time in image receipt and no distortion. They all seem quite happy with this new system.
It seems that the project was a commercial success with hundreds of signals being channeled trough PAKSAT-1R now!
