The satellite will be positioned at 38.2° E orbit slot, covering the mainland and surrounding areas of Pakistan, parts of the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, East Africa, and parts of Europe, with a service life of 15 years. [7] Total deliverable capacity of Ka-Band is 10 Gbps covering whole Pakistan, there is no steerable beam in Ka-HTS payload.
The satellite was eventually leased by Pakistan as Paksat-1 at 38° East in geostationary orbit and had been active since December 2002. During this time, the SUPARCO began developing the geosynchronous satellite to replacing the aging Paksat-1 as part of the new space policy announced by the government of Pakistan in 2008.
The Paksat-IR satellite marked a historic milestone in Pakistan's space program. Launched on August 11, 2011, at 9:17 PM (PKT), it was the first geostationary (GEO) satellite to be deployed as part of the Space Programme 2040.
Pakistan's government approved the acquisition on 3 July 2002 [7] and the leasing with Hughes Global Services was agreed on 6 August 2002. [8] The satellite started moving to its new orbital position on 5 December 2002 [ 9 ] and it went through a name change from Anatolia-1 to Paksat-1 on 18 December 2002. [ 10 ]
The Badr-B (Urdu: بدر-۲; also known as Badr-II, meaning Full Moon-2) was the second spacecraft and the first Earth observation satellite launched into Sun-synchronous orbit on 10 December 2001 at 09:15 by SUPARCO — Pakistan's national space agency. [2]
Badr-B was the second spacecraft and the first Earth observation satellite launched by Pakistan. It was placed into Sun-synchronous orbit on December 10, 2001, at 5:19 PM UTC. [2] The Badr program was decommissioned in 2012 after Badr-B completed its successful mission. The Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite has replaced the Badr program since ...
