Pakistan to launch Remote Sensing Satellite in 2014

[zeemeer]

​

After the successful launch of communication satellite Paksat-IR, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) plans to launch high resolution Remote Sensing Satellite System (RSSS) in 2014 to meet the national and international user requirements in the field of satellite imagery.
The system is planned to be a progressive and sustainable programme. Initially, the commission planned to launch an optical satellite with payload of 2.5 meter PAN in 700 km sun-synchronous or bit by the end of current, which will be followed by a series of optical and SAR Satellites.
SUPARCO Secretary Arshad H Siraj said it would be helpful in exploiting the potentials of space technologies for natural resource surveying and environmental monitoring. The system will also be significant in executing application projects of national significance, transfer technology to users in public and private sectors as remote sensing along with its allied technologies has become an industry in itself.
He said the commission was the pioneer in introducing these technologies in Pakistan using the satellite remote sensing techniques and the system would also be helpful in improving agriculture of the country, water resources, environment and other such issues.
The SUPARCO is aimed at contributing to the socio-economic development of the country by demonstrating the potential of space technologies for natural resources surveying and environment monitoring, he added.
Pakistan entered the space age with the formal launching of a second hand purchased Paksat-I in January 2003.
“Since then, our scientists and engineers had been making endeavours to launch indigenous satellite and ensure country’s permanent presence in the space”.
In replying to a question, the SUPARCO secretary said under the vision 2040 of Pakistan’s Space programme, more satellites would be launched, which would help improve socio-economic condition of the country. As far as launch of spaceship is concerned, no such planning is in considerations and the focus is to launch more communication satellites, he maintained.

do you know anythng about 123 agreement...its all about end user agreement .business to order of 100 billlion $ for selling nuclear reactors with constant supply of fuel..


By the way to launch a satellite pakistan will have to take help of north korea and iran;sell them cheap Qadeer bombs !!

Mohan tiwari how is the weather of india after hearing about pakistani satellite ur comments smell hate INDIA is launching satellites with the help of Russia indian army air force navy running with the help of Russia usa and some European states Indian forces full of Russian scraps India should first eradicate corruption poverty insurgency in Kashmir then think about such technologies.why don't india stop depending on Russia and remove all fighter planes ship marines satellites ships tanks provided by Germany and Russia

Pakistan has not yet made its own satellite ,not does it have any launching capability!

all i remember that pakistan bought a satellite from china,and use chinese launch vehicles !!

Hence ,it would be naive to say that my comments smell hate.. If pakistan comes with its own launching technology and its own indigenous satellites ,i would also congratulate it(remember that india has been launching and building satellites for 30 years)!!

This is a good development, but there is still a long journey ahead. In order to sustain further scientific growth, Pakistan will need to improve its economy and fund higher education.

Please ignore the trolls and utilize your energies in something more constructive

Mohan this is pathetic, you are pathetic like most of the Indians. Forget about North Korea and Iran, we can teach them a thing or two in missiles now. You talk about your India, who despite the technical help and wholesale rendering of their services by the Russians, French, British, Americans and Israelis still could not make their missiles and other weapons work. As a matter of fact according to your own media the weapons which work in their pristine conditions with other forces become useless in Indian hands. This is a classic comment, proving that Indian are incapable to do anything properly.

And then there are comments about your Nuclear status, made by your own scientists in charge of the atomic tests. Look in to your own face in the mirror, thank you.

Here is the reminder for you by your own Journalist.

launching satellite is not so complicated and many countries use already available launch facilities ... I think ur just jealous of Pakistan's achievements.....

1.Pakistan missiles were copied entirely from north korea in exchange of nukes design sold by qadeer proliferation gang..m9/m11 were copied from uncle xang in china !!

2.why are you trying to post old videos?indian missiles are not bought from china,korea ;painted in cycle factory of peshawar!!

can pakistan even produce its own indigenous bike,car or truck !!!

Indians missiles are prototypes,designed,built and tested in house;;all the minor flaws found during testing are eradicated before they are inducted!!

Pakistan cant dream of developing launch vehicle by 2020!!

488498]launching satellite is not so complicated and many countries use already available launch facilities ... I think ur just jealous of Pakistan's achievements.....

how many satellites have been made by pakistan in last 65 years..how many of them have been launched by pakistan from its own launching station??none................

Has it been so easy;then south korea and brazil which being at least 20 years ahead of pakistan in technology; are struggling to send a satellite from its own vehicles !!

Despite working for 20-30 years ,Iran has only been able to send dogs,rats and cockroach as satellites ; with the help of copy cats leased engine of russia in last 30 years (they have billion of dollar/euro of oil money to buy the tech from russia )!!


how can pakistan buy this technology?may be they can get from usa in exchange of ceasing all support to taliban :P

Before selling we will drop all of them on INDIA, and by the way if they are cheap then why your media is so afraid of them,
