Pakistan boosts space agency's budget from $24 million to $127 million

all of those things you mentioned require a form of taking a satellite into space...

can you explain in detail one application of space technology you have in mind that doesn't involve needing a space launch vehicle to launch something into space or orbit

you can get a whole bunch of countries to put a satellite for civilian purposes (may be not Iran, but Pakistan should not have any issues)

so you want to build satellites and let other countries launch it into space for you and call that a space program? even universities around the world can do that

Yeah you put a satellite in space and you call that a space program. Maybe in 1959 or 1962 that would qualify. Not anymore

according to Nathan bob:

putting your own satellites into orbit = not a space program

paying someone else to put your satellites into orbit = definitely a space program

sometimes it's better not to speak

If you’re hell bent on providing a negative outcome to anyone you can twist anything into a NO.
