Pakistani media is only good in publishing negative news... I am sure Chinese TV will broadcast the launching video soon

agreed!
however, i am happy that PTV gave full coverage.
it was a half an hour program. i posted the link when it was being aired, i hope you have checked the images at last pages from PTV news aswell.

nonetheless, i totally agree that all these private news channels like Geo, Express, Ary etc are BS. they even didn't even gave the news on time. busy in there negative propaganda!

China successfully launches communications satellite in Pakistan 1R
Xinhua Xichang August 12 (Xinhua Li Qinghua, Zhang Liwen) at 0:15 on the 12th, China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the "Long March III B" carrier rocket, will be Pakistan's communications satellite 1R (Paksat-1R) successful delivery into orbit. This is my first time to Asia the user to "in-orbit delivery 'exports of satellites, but also our first time this year to provide commercial satellite for international users export services.

About 26 minutes after the rocket launch, Xi'an satellite monitoring center of the data showed that normal star separated from the rocket, the satellite perigee of 204 kilometers into accurate, apogee 41,985 km, orbital inclination of 24.8 degree geostationary transfer orbit, launching a complete success.

The launch tasks in accordance with China Great Wall Industry Corporation and Pakistan's Space and outer atmosphere, the Research Council in 2008, Pakistan signed 1R communications satellite in-orbit delivery contract implementation. According to the contract, Pakistan, China Great Wall Industry Corporation will deliver a high-power in-orbit communication satellites, provide training and assist in building the ground in Pakistan, two control stations.

"Pakistan star 1R" communications satellite project, in July 1990 following the Long March II rocket carrying bundled Pakistan launched a small satellite (BADR-A), the Pakistani cooperation in the aerospace field again. In Pakistan the 60th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations, "Pakistan star 1R" the successful launch of the "Sino-Pakistani friendship year" has added new luster.

"Pakistan star 1R" communications satellite and the "Long March III B" carrier rocket, by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation China Academy of Space Technology and China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology Development. "Pakistan star 1R" use "East is Red IV" satellite platform, satellite loaded with two 30-band transponders and three road antenna, satellite beam coverage in South Asia, Middle East, Africa and eastern Europe, some cities and regions, mainly used to meet Pakistan in the telecommunications, broadcasting and broadband multimedia services and other areas of communication needs.

"Long March III B" is our ability to geosynchronous transfer orbit carrying the largest launch vehicle, can be mass 5500 kg payload into geosynchronous transfer orbit. The launch is the "Long March III B" rocket's 15th launch, is the Long March series of carrier rockets of the first 143 flight.

Pakistan’s first Communications Satellite PAKSAT-1R launched

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s first Communications Satellite PAKSAT-1R, as a part of Pakistan’s Space Programme 2040, was launched on Thursday at 2117 hrs on board China’s Satellite Launch Vehicle from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre.

Besides others, launch was witnessed by Secretary Defence Lt Gen Syed Athar Ali (R), Secretary Foreign Affairs, Salman Bashir, Director General, Strategic Plans Division Lt Gen Khalid Ahmed Kidwai (R) and Ambassador of Pakistan to China, Muhammad Masood Khan, said a press release issued here.

PAKSAT-1R has a total of 30 transponders, 12 in C-band and 18 in Ku-band.

The satellite will be deployed at 380E in the Geo-stationary orbit and it will replace the existing satellite PAKSAT-1.

PAKSAT-1R has a design life of 15 years and will provide TV broadcasting, Internet and data communication services across South and Central Asia, Eastern Europe, East Africa and the Far East. This satellite now enables extending of communication services to all areas of Pakistan.

The National Command Authority (NCA) recently approved Pakistan’s Space Programme 2040 during its meeting at the Strategic Plans Division (SPD) on 14 July 2011.

Earlier, the contract for the development of PAKSAT-1R was signed between Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) and China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) in October 2008 during the visit of the President of Pakistan to China.

Pakistani engineers have worked closely with their Chinese counterparts during all stages of development of the satellite in China. Some experimental units developed at SUPARCO have also been integrated on the satellite for technology evaluation.

China and Pakistan have enjoyed more than 20 years of cooperation in Space Science, Technology and Applications.

The launch of Paksat-1R Satellite is a major milestone for both countries towards strengthening of this cooperation.

SUPARCO will continue its efforts for launching of other satellites including Remote Sensing Satellites, to ensure that the space technology applications fully contribute to socio-economic development and national security in Pakistan.

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan will launch its first indigenously developed communications satellite on August 14, 2011, from a facility in China and the satellite's life span will be 15 years.
According to sources in Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), the satellite would be launched at a longitude of 38 degrees in geostationary orbit on the equatorial plane at an altitude of 36,000km above the earth's surface.
Paksat-1R will carry a communications payload to facilitate the introduction of a range of new services, including broadband internet, digital TV distribution and broadcasting, remote and rural telephony, emergency communications, tele-education and tele-medicine. The contract for Pakistan Communication Satellite (Paksat-1R) was signed between SUPARCO and China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC), on October 15, 2008, the sources said.
Work on the execution of the contract began soon after and was progressing as scheduled, the sources said, adding that the contract involved various other projects, including infrastructure and therefore it was difficult to invest an exact cost on the satellite itself. The officials said at least two new satellites - Paksat-1R and Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite (PRSS) - would be launched in the near future.
The satellites have been developed with technical and financial assistance of China. At present, Pakistan has a communications satellite, Paksat-1, in orbit, providing coverage across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and the South Asian subcontinent. It is being used by TV broadcasters, telecom companies, data and broadband internet service providers and government organisations.
Paksat-1R will replace Paksat-1, a leased satellite, to ensure continuity of service. In the 1990s, Pakistan also operated a small satellite, Badr-A, in low earth orbit. However, the country's modest space programme has been oriented towards remote sensing applications. Pakistan and China have agreed to enhance strategic coordination, advance pragmatic cooperation and work together to meet challenges in pursuit of common development.
In a joint statement issued after conclusion of Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao's visit to Pakistan, they declared 2011 as the "Year of China-Pakistan Friendship", and decided to hold a series of activities in the political, economic, trade, military, cultural, sporting and education fields, to warmly celebrate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of Pak-China diplomatic relations.
They decided to further implement the Framework Agreement between SUPARCO and China National Space Administration (CNSA) on Deepening Cooperation in Space Science and TechnologyPakistan to launch satellite in 2011 | Pakistan Today | Latest news, Breaking news, Pakistan News, World news, business, sport and multimedia
