Pakistan should seriously increase its space budget. We must have our own SLV in near future.

any info about weight of PAKSAT 1 ?and was it only satellite carried by china's launch vehicle ?

There are also some goodies enabling navigation of Babur missiles...

 

[unicorn148]

Yes the only satellite - the weight was over 5,000 kilograms -

no the weight of the PAKSAT-1R was 1050 KG

Wiki Says...

It was Just 1,050 kilograms

Anyone has a brain will know that's not right. PAKSAT 1R is based on DFH-4 which weights around 5000 KG.

official data
PakSat-1R

PakSat-1R is designed and manufactured by China Academy of Space Technology (CAST), a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science & Technology Corporation (CASC). It is a commercial communications satellite based on Dong Fang Hong4 satellite platform, with 30 transponders onboard, including 12 C and 18 Ku transponders. To meet the complicated coverage requirements, PakSat-1R has 3 shaped communications antennas, covering South Asian Sub-continent, the Middle East, East Africa and part of Western European area and cities. Satellite lift-off mass is around 5115KG and it will be positioned at an orbital slot of 38 Degree East. The satellite service life is 15 years and the output power of the satellite at the end of service life is 7.75KW. Customer Furnished Items developed by SUPARCO are also on-board PakSat-1R to verify the Customers’ satellite development capability. Moreover, PakSat-1R is equipped with Antenna Pointing Mechanism (APM) to adjust the antenna orientation.

We should have sent a HD Camcorder too with 100x optical zoom...we could have seen what other satellites pass near our satellite and if the satellite had small solar charged rockers busters we could have just moved its orbit circle and have taken it near ISS and indian satellites to see whats happening in them...i think we missed the chance this time.
maybe a small mp5 with a barrel magazine tied with one corner of satellite we could have taken down indian and israeli spy satelites.

also we can see the bullets from mp5 moving in slow motion in zero gravity!

Cheers on our success!!!

But we really need to increase our budget!!!
