Pakistan Space and Satellite Developments

NO NATION IN THE WORLD HAS BEEN TO THE MOON BECAUSE EARTH ROTATES AROUND A RADIOACTIVE ORBIT SO EVEN NASA, WHO CLAIM TO HAVE LANDED ON THE MOON, HAVENT DONE SO. BECAUSE NEITHER IS THER SLV BUILT TO STAND RADIOACTIVITY. AND EVEN INDIAS CLAIMING THEY LANDED ON THE MOON, A COUNTRY WHICH HAS BEEN DEVELOPING MISSILE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PAST TWO DECADES.

It is good to be Optimistic , but one should never lose the fact.
Our country needs to clear internal diffrences first.
We say we have technology and countries like China our friend is ready to help us , but we also need to be able to maintain these satellites.

The fact is becuase of the war we are short of cash infact we have no cash.Thats the fact.

Regarding India landing on the moon we will see when they get there.

Pakistans Space Programme is years ahead of India as on 2003 - Musharraf

ISLAMABAD, Jan 25: Pakistan entered the space age with the formal launching of Paksat-I by President Gen Pervez Musharraf at an impressive ceremony here on Saturday.

The president emphasized that Paksat-I must serve as a link between Pakistan and the Muslim world to help the spread of knowledge.

“I am really delighted to note that Pakistan’s space programme now is a reality and our scientists must build our own indigenous satellite within three years instead of five years,” he said. The president pointed out that four educational channels will aid the government to provide free education.

The satellite hired by Pakistan was relocated at 38 degree east by the country’s own space scientists. With a lifetime of five to eight years, it will mainly transmit educational programmes.

Inaugurating the satellite, the president described it as a truly historic achievement for Pakistan and Pakistanis. “This marks a tremendous achievement demonstrating the skill and technical excellence of the country’s manpower.”

“Pakistan’s space programme is now ahead of India after the formal launching of Paksat-I and this is due to the hard work of our scientists and I am sure Indians would take another 30 months to do the job,” Gen Musharraf claimed.:taz::victory:

Referring to Pakistan’s achievement in information technology and communication, the president said Internet facilities were now available in 1,000 towns and cities.

The budget for science and technology, he pointed out, had been increased by 4,000 per cent and the bandwidth rates reduced from $86,000 to $3,800 per annum. “And who does not know that there is a 50 years tax holiday for the IT sector.”

The president expressed the confidence that the present government would carry on the space and communication development programme from where it was left by the previous regime.

APP adds: The president told the higher education commission and the education ministry to dovetail their efforts with the ministry of science and technology to project Pakistan beyond its borders.

After 6 years, I suppose Pakistan has progressed far ahead of India in this space race..

Who the hell is this guy?

A chinese who likes India? or an Indian who likes China?

Well, whoever he is, he is certainly up to some monkey business.

Pakistan do well to concentrate on their own agenda and not engage in any kind of cold war competition with India in space - it's a waste of money - what Pakistan ought to be doing is developing technological know how to solve real problems for the Pakistani nation and State.

We of course wish all, including India, well, in their endeavors and India have achieved much - prestige projects as far as Pakistan are concerned should be avoided, we earn prestige by the degree to which we assist the people of Pakistan to live dignified lives, the degree to which we educate them and the degree to which the Pakistani nation is able to help itself and help all humanity. There is no need for another cold war rerun.

I guess it will be interesting to see, Pak getting there first Rocket launch, But I also hate to say that, The west dont like India, pakistan,China and some asian countries to grow.... they will try all there mean tricks to stop it

Muse, sir, we're not just on the same page, we're reading the exact same paragraph.

Please allow me to add to what you have very elegantly written. In addition to providing the population the necessities of life as best possible, Pakistan should, and must, and shall (InshAllah), first develop a launch system capable of launching indigenous and international space systems into low earth orbit. Not for the prestige, as you said, but to develop the capability of doing so and to benefit from the advantages it will bring. We must, and shall (InshAllah), also expand our capabilities in satellite design, and must not be afraid of embarking upon ambitious projects. Communication satellites, surveillance satellites, research satellites and so on are an absolute necessity for any nation that wishes to be an important player in the world, and one that must not rely on the mercy of its rivals, in the coming years (especially if the rival has a significant edge in space-technology). The very least we can do is develop these limited capabilities that will set a platform for future development, and greatly benefit Pakistan.

We don't have to send a man to the moon (the Americans didn't need to either, they just did it to win), or even send a probe to the moon, and we definitely do not need to match the Indians step-for-step. We just need to do enough. How much is "enough" I leave to open debate. It is a question that must be tackled by more intelligent observers, such as Muse.

First Pakistani satellite launch in April 2011: Dr Samar
Wednesday, August 19, 2009


ISLAMABAD: Planning Commission on Science and Technology member Dr Samar Mobarakmend said on Tuesday that the first satellite of Pakistan would be launched in April 2011.

He expressed these views while addressing a three-day International Conference on Aerospace Science and Engineering, 2009, as chief guest. “The country has sufficient funds for atomic and space programmes, and Pakistan’s nuclear programme is not lesser than other nuclear countries,” he said.

He said the nation should have faith in its nuclear scientists and engineers. He said Pakistan had much potential and strong human resources, but the need of the hour was that they should use these resources by providing some proper direction to achieve the desired results.

The objective of the conference was to establish dialogue leading to long lasting, healthy technical cooperation amongst the aerospace, communication and material scientists and engineers of the developing and developed countries. Other senior dignitaries, scientists and researchers from the academia and the R&D were also present on the occasion.

The article clearly states that it is hired by Pakistan then why do you ask stupid questions?. Here is the story of paksat1.

PT Satelit Palapa Indonesia (SATELINDO) chose Hughes Space and Communications Company in April 1993 after an eight month competition. The spacecraft, called Palapa-C, are versions of the successful HS-601 model of body-stabilized satellites. Construction was done at Boeing Satellite System's manufacturing facilities in El Segundo, Calif. Boeing also augmented the new master control station at Daan Mogot near Jakarta.

The first satellite was launched on Jan. 31, 1996, on an Atlas-2AS booster and placed at 113° East longitude. The second was launched on May 15, 1996 on an Ariane-44L H10-3 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana. The rockets carry the spacecraft to geosynchronous transfer orbit. The spacecraft's own liquid apogee motor then raises it to geostationary orbit 36,000 km above the equator.

The Indonesian satellites carry the name "Palapa," a word that signifies unity. The country has more than13,000 islands, and satellites are the most efficient and effective way of uniting them with communications services. Each succeeding generation of Palapa satellites was significantly larger and more powerful than the one it replaced, as demand for services grew.

Each Palapa-C spacecraft, for example, carries 30 C-band transponders, compared to Palapa-B's 24. In addition,the new satellites carry four Ku-band transponders for business networking. Each Palapa-C satellite has 24 active and six spare C-band transponders to operate in the 3700-4200MHz/5925-6425 MHz range, and six active plus two spares in the extended C-band region (3400-3640MHz/6425-6665 MHz). The former are powered by 21.5-watt solid-state power amplifiers and the latter by 26-watt SSPAs. In Ku-band, each satellite was built with six-for-four redundancy, and 135-watt traveling wavetube amplifiers for operations in the 10950-11690 MHz/13750-14490 MHz range. Average radiated power in C-band is 37 dBW; in Ku-band, it's 50 dBW. The coverage area includes not only Indonesia, but also southeast Asia and parts of China, India, Japan, and Australia.

Like other HS-601 model satellites, Palapa-C is built with a cube-shaped central body that contains the electronics payload and supports the antennas and two solar wings. From the tip on one three-panel wing to the other, each satellite extends 21 meters (68.8 feet). These wings provide 3,730 watts of power. The satellite carries three antenna systems comprising four octagonal-shaped reflectors and their corresponding single feedhorns. The four are shaped reflectors with dua lsurfaces to process signals with both horizontal and vertical polarization. The shaped-reflector technology precludes the need for multiple feedhorns. The antenna systems provide coverage in the standard C-band (two85-inch reflectors), extended C-band (one 70-inchreflector), and Ku-band (one 60-inch reflector).

The HS-601 body is composed of two main modules.The bus module is the primary structure that carries launch vehicle loads and contains the propulsion,attitude control and electrical power subsystems. The payload module is a honeycomb structure that contains the payload electronics, telemetry, command and ranging equipment, and the isothermal heat pipes. Reflectors, antenna feeds, and solar arrays mount directly to the primary module, and antenna configurations can be placed on three faces of the bus. Such a modular approach allows work to proceed in parallel, thereby shortening the manufacturing schedule and test time.

After an electric power anomaly had occurred, the Palapa C1 satellite apparently lost its ability to recharge batteries. A Battery Charge Controller is no longer functioning, which means that the satellite is without a power backup during the eclipse periods that occur twice a year. The satellite was declared unusable for its planned mission, insurance claims were paid, and the title of the satellite was passed to the insurers. Hughes Global Services acquired the satellite, and developed procedures necessary to maintain full geostationary service operations except during eclipse itself and brief periods on either side of each eclipse event. For a total of 88 days per year, the satellite has to be switched off for three hours per day on average. Overall availability of the spacecraft's transponders remains at 96 percent. The satellite was renamed HGS 3, later Anatolia 1 and in 2002 Paksat 1.

2003 project was just an experimental and educational base.
Pakistan is developing on space project without the support of any other country (Israel, Russia), thats y Pakistan is delayed to launch.

The first proper satellite (for Spy, education, research on agricultural and netural resources , weather forecast etc) will be launched in April 2011 as said by Dr Samar Mubarik.

Last statement is very attractive from Dr samar that Pakistan is not short of money for space or nuclear development funds.
