Pakistan is planning to replace Paksat-1 with a new communication satellite Paksat-1R and hopefully it will be launched on August 14, 2011. The satellite will support all conventional and modern Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) applications, will use the geo-stationary orbit, and acquire a constant height of 36,000Km above the surface of earth crust.
“It is a right time for Pakistan to make such progresses while the eyes of world are on us”. In future such contributions, that make the Pakistan in every field a proud one, will be made and always be made for not only to assist Pakistani nation but to give a big helping hand to whole humanity, he maintained.
