China-made satellites in high demand
China Daily, November 26, 2016
China will construct and launch two remote sensing satellites for foreign countries in the coming two years, an industry insider said.
China Great Wall Industry Corp, the nation's only authorized firm for international space collaboration, will launch Venezuela's second remote sensing satellite next year and Pakistan's first remote sensing satellite in 2018, said Fu Zhiheng, vice-president of Great Wall Industry.
"Preparation work for the Venezuelan Remote Sensing Satellite 2 project is proceeding according to schedule. The contract for the Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite 1 project was signed earlier this year and will be fulfilled in 2018. The two satellites are being developed by the China Academy of Space Technology," Fu said on the sidelines of an international forum in Beijing on Friday.
A total of 180 space officials, diplomats and researchers took part in the Symposium on Space International Cooperation Promoting Economic and Social Development of Developing Country, which was organized by the China International Exchange Center for Astronautical Science and Technology and the International Academy of Astronautics.
Remote sensing satellites are tasked with forecasting weather, observing Earth, surveying land resources or monitoring oceans.
Fu said some other countries that already use Chinese satellites are also in talks with his company on the procurement of new satellites.
"In addition to traditional clients, we pay great attention to finding new customers. For instance, we are striving to tap the space market in the Middle East that is dominated by the United States and European firms," he said. "What I can tell you now is that we have made substantial progress in this region."
China has exported 11 satellites to nine countries, including Bolivia, Nigeria and Laos, statistics from Great Wall Industry show.
Fu said that Chinese satellites have become popular among developing countries for two reasons: First, they are as reliable as Western models; and second, Great Wall Industry is able to provide solution packages to developing countries covering design, launch, operation and training.
The Venezuelan Remote Sensing Satellite 2 is the third Chinese satellite designed for the South American country, following the Venesat-1 communications satellite that was launched in 2008 and the Venezuelan Remote Sensing Satellite 1, launched in 2012.
The Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite 1 is the second Chinese satellite to be used by Pakistan. Before that, China developed the PakSat-1R communications satellite that was launched in 2011.
Hu Zhongmin, director of the international cooperation department at China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, parent company of Great Wall Industry and China Academy of Space Technology, said the space giant is willing to strengthen exchanges and collaboration with developing countries so space data and technologies can benefit such countries.
"Under bilateral cooperation frameworks, we are also happy to help them to build their own space capability," he said.
Hiroki Matsuo, vice-president of the International Academy of Astronautics, said China could share its knowledge and expertise in manned and robotic spaceflight, space-based navigation and data applications with other countries.

Very very likely.....bro，Please get ready, maybe you have the opportunity to enter the Chinese space station,Maybe you'll be the first one to go into space in Pakistan.
So the space station refused China in 1990s.
Now, no matter how they beg China this time, no way!
This space station is for China and China's friends!

Hey remember there are Pakistanis in Australia as well
If you offer space tourism at reasonable prices and I actually have that kind of money I will SURELY take the opportunity!

Low earth orbit, not in geo stationary orbit.
For many years, SUPARCO's budget had been capped at $7 million annual. This year, it has been trippled to around $24 million.
Insha'Allah, Pakistan's space activities will now slowly kick off as the economy steadily grows, Insha'Allah.

Missile giant targets 20% of market to launch small satellites
China Daily, November 29, 2016
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, the largest missile maker in the country, is taking aim at 20 percent or more of the small-satellite launch contracts in the world by 2020, company executives said.
"We estimate that from 2017 to 2020, we will send aloft at least 10 solid-fuel carrier rockets each year, to send about 50 small satellites into orbit," said Guo Yong, president of the CASIC Fourth Academy, in an exclusive interview with China Daily in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province. That, he said, would account for "about one-fifth of the estimated total annual missions of solid-fuel rockets around the world in that period".
Guo said letters of intent to use nearly 20 Kuaizhou rockets were signed at the 11th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition this month in Zhuhai, Guangdong province.
"Our clients told us that they hope the launch of their satellites will be arranged as early as possible," Guo added.
In mid-February, the academy set up China's second commercial launch provider, Expace Technology Co. The first was China Great Wall Industry Corp, established in 1980, which is part of another major space contractor, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp.
Great Wall Industry has done 54 commercial launches for over 20 overseas clients since 1990, when it launched its first foreign-made satellite. All of those commercial missions used Long March rockets developed by Great Wall's parent company.
Zhang Di, vice-president of the CASIC Fourth Academy and chairman of Expace, said Expace plans its first commercial space launch early in 2017, using a Kuaizhou 1 to put three Earth observation satellites made by State-owned Changguang Satellite Technology Co in orbit. The contract is worth about 100 million yuan ($14.5 million).
More than 10 other Changguang satellites are "in their storehouses waiting to be launched by Kuaizhou rockets", Zhang quoted Changguang executives as saying.
Expace is in talks with satellite makers in Asia, Europe and Latin America and has taken part in public bidding on their commercial launches, according to Zhang.
"Foreign clients told us that they are interested in Kuaizhou rockets' strong capabilities and competitive prices," Zhang said. "The Kuaizhou models are specifically designed for launches of small satellites. They are capable of lifting four to six satellites to multiple orbits in a single flight and require a short period of time for pre-launch preparations, and fewer than 10 operators."
Expace charges around $10,000 for each kilogram of payload, much lower than the average international rate of $25,000 to $30,000, he explained.
CASIC Fourth Academy began to develop Kuaizhou rockets in 2009, intending to form a low-cost, quick-response rocket family for the commercial market.
The Fourth Academy is now making a new-generation Kuaizhou 11 and plans to launch it in 2017, said Tan Qinghai, publicity head at the academy.
Designers said the Kuaizhou 11 has a liftoff weight of 78 metric tons and will be able to place a 1-ton payload into a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 700 kilometers, or a 1.5-ton payload into a low Earth orbit at an altitude of 400 km.
