New developments:
Suparco Projects:
-PRSS-1: China building and launching in 2016
IST and University level projects:
Moot on aerospace science and engineering starts - thenews.com.pk
-ICUBE2: IST has embarked on planning larger 2U Cubesat ‘ICUBE-2’ with larger payload capacity and advanced attitude control system for more sophisticated applications. It will indeed open up a large vista of experiments and research that could be conducted in space, by all the students, scientists and engineers of our universities and R & D organisations.
-Susat-1 (Student Satellite -1) Pakistan multi-university Project: Remote sensing and communication. Program officially launched Oct 2013.
Student satellite programme launched - thenews.com.pk
Joint-country projects:
-APSCO Sat-6: IST is also actively participating in the progress of Asia Pacific Space Cooperation Organisation (APSCO). We have been selected as a lead university for APSCO Sat-6, which is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Remote Sensing Satellite with Inter Satellite Links capability. The initial feasibility study of the project has been completed and project approval is awaited. IST will invite other Pakistani universities and sister organizations to participate in this prestigious satellite project.
-IST will also be working with China on Beihang University’s three satellite constellation in the Low Earth Orbit aimed at accurate Space Environment Measurement and Research.
