Probable 'First Pakistani In Space' Congratulates India on Mars Mission

[kbd-raaf]

Pakistan would like to build satellite launchers and longer-range missiles, but it is unclear how far it has progressed. In 1981, the head of SUPARCO announced plans to test a launcher by 1986, and the Pakistani press reported in early 1989 that a multi-stage rocket had successfully launched a 150-kilogram payload over 600 kilometers into "deep space."

Secrecy and a SLV program are mutually exclusive.

In your hurry to bash India, you didnot read properly. And next, India is not comparing itself with russian space station or NASA. We are the first nation to reach mars in the first attempt itself with / of the cost compared to your nation. China can be years or 15000 years ahead of India. It's a moment for us to celebrate and we will.

never said its not. I am not bashing india's accomplishment here.

 

[风之南国]

India's success is the pride of our humanity, but please do not discriminate against Pakistan, we can all win-win cooperation.

Landed man on two different objects!?

Which objects! ?

Russia and china landed on moon. China also landed on commit.

read the line again.....................


Asian Space Race to the Red Planet.

Two of Russia oribeters able to reach mars back in 70s. And china rover will directly drop in mars by 2018.

Did i miss something:

Isnt china already landed man to two different objects?

Pakistan Derives its First "Hatf" Missiles from Foreign Space Rockets
The Risk Report

Volume 1 Number 8 (October 1995) Page 4

Pakistan's ability to construct its Hatf missiles grew out of cooperation with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), the American space agency, which helped Pakistan launch sounding rockets in the 1960s. "Pakistan got into the missile business via the sounding rocket business," says a U.S. official who tracks missile proliferation.

In 1961, Pakistan set up the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) with the announced goal, not yet reached, of launching Pakistani satellites aboard Pakistani rockets. In June 1962, the United States launched the first rocket from Pakistani soil. The launch used a combination of two U.S. rocket motors the Nike and the Cajun. Fired from Sonmiani Beach, 50 kilometers west of Karachi, the rocket reached an altitude of almost 130 kilometers. The U.S. space agency NASA hailed the launch as the beginning of "a program of continuing cooperation in space research of mutual interest."

The NASA-SUPARCO cooperation agreement called for the training of Pakistani scientists and technicians at NASA space science centers. Before the June 1962 launch, NASA had begun to train Pakistani scientists at Wallops Island and the Goddard Space Flight Centers. NASA also set up fellowships and research associate programs at American universities for "advanced training and experience."

Europeans also aided Pakistan's early rocket development. France transferred technology to manufacture sounding rockets and German firms assisted in space research and supplied several tons of ammonium perchlorate, an ingredient of solid rocket fuel. Great Britain also helped with sounding rocket launches.

By the mid-1980s, Pakistan had "established its own rocket production plant where rockets required for high-altitude scientific research are manufactured," according to then-chairman of SUPARCO, Salim Mehmud. SUPARCO also built rocket test facilities, chemical and propellant laboratories, high-speed tracking radar and a laboratory to work on telemetry.

U.S. officials tell the Risk Report that Pakistan's first surface-to-surface missile is based on French sounding rocket technology an observation seconded by S. Chandrashekar, an engineer with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), who points to the similarities between the technical specifications of the Hatf missile and France's Dauphin rocket.

In an address at the National Defence College in Rawalpindi in February 1989, Pakistan's Army Chief of Staff General Mirza Aslam Beg announced that two indigenously manufactured surface-to-surface missiles had been tested. Beg claimed that the Hatf-1 and Hatf-2 missiles "are extremely accurate systems" that can carry 500-kilogram payloads to ranges of 80 and 300 kilometers respectively. However, U.S. officials doubt these claims. The Hatf-1 is an inaccurate battlefield rocket that can fly 80 kilometers, says one senior official, and "the Hatf-2 is just two Hatf-1s put together" and cannot fly 300 kilometers. "Neither missile is a very high-tech product," he adds. "The Chinese M-11 would be a much better missile choice for Pakistan."

The two Hatf missiles were tested again in February 1989 from mobile launching pads on the Mekran coast. Applauding the tests, Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto congratulated the nation "for entering into the missile age by the successful firing of ground-to-ground missiles."

It is unclear whether either of the Hatf-series missiles has been put into serial production or deployed. U.S. officials say they "have not seen a lot of activity on the Hatf-2 lately," and would not be surprised if production had stopped. Pakistani engineers are now working on the more accurate Hatf-3, Pakistan's version of the Chinese M-11 missile.

Pakistan Derives its First "Hatf" Missiles from Foreign Space Rockets

Just giving you a clue of Pakistan's highly secretive SLV program.

Secretive or failed !?

Launching 150kg payload into 600km is not a big deal... Enough velocity for orbiting is important!

yeah but still its a Sh!tty organistion named SUPAR(I).CO

Did i miss something:

no you did not....

Secretive or failed !?

your making so much sense ...it will hurt his head

 

[dray]

Exactly, all in all as most people begin to think Indian MoM's got deviated and lost, and this new MoM cover up with NASA help of 1 year effort to show the Chinese that India is some how trying to play catch-up!!

There are NO evidence yet of Indian MARS probe yet.

Bang this thing on your head thrice, sometimes defective things start working after a hard bang.

russia is in asia?
Which comes first 2014 or 2018?

 

[dray]

India won Asian Space Race by sending settlite to mars?

Isnt china already landed man to two different objects? Manned missions are considered higher then send sattelite or rover.

Russia and china landed on moon. China also landed on commit.

Never never never ever you should appear in any exam where General Knowledge is a subject, honestly!!

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

Our prime minister should congratulate India .

 

[A.Rafay]

Congratulations to India for achieving this milestone.

Sorry i meant Russia and china landed on moon and Japan to Comet.

Typo.. not general knowledge

Point was and still is, India is not firs . Asian to mars, neither ahead in Space race.
