There is a reason for the increase. Although, it will take some years to see the result. SUPARCO has been tasked with some projects including partaking in SLV.

According to information shared by some members here and in previous forum, SUPARCO's work gonna be satellite development only while SLV development would be done by other experienced players, NESCOM, KRL etc.

Mod Edit: Use Proper English Language
Only way to make this work is to privatize SUPARCO.

No comments. All I can say is, these orgs do not work in isolation and where/if needed, they collaborate.

Work on SLV is ongoing already.

Bro anything concrete on this? I've heard this for a decade now.

No Org names were given. Let’s just stick to experienced players

It was never a priority in the past and funds were diverted elsewhere to first cover more imminent needs. So projects get frozen or paced slowed.

However, there's quite some movement/halchal on SLV recently.

All I can say is, SPD monitors all projs and allocate funds wherever its evaluation recommends. If SLV was a strategic necessity, it would have already be unveiled within 2-5 years of the onset of the project including the design phase.

Saw this tender, dated 26/08/2024. Work for satellite navigation system at Gwadar cantt.

I don't agree with Hassan Nisar's Dalit theory because India, having a similar Dalit population, is prospering. The real answer to why India is succeeding while Pakistan is failing lies elsewhere—it's something most Pakistanis might be reluctant to acknowledge.

Bhai, China got picked up 40 years ago by da west and these Indian dalit got picked up 20 years ago. Huge capital and TOT from the west to these two no?

Rest is just economic philosophy discussion no??

So obvious.

$127m should be a strong starter budget to get something started

Yous need to help us get this going. Obviously China refuses to help us here because of loans and other drama. Yous launched a satellite yesterday so we know yous got it goin……

Think about your hamsaya no?

We have a long history as neighbors.

Pakistan has MRBMs, easiest path is to convert those to SLVs (common path)

Not space related, but I think there's a big opportunity for Pakistan and Iran to collaborate on gas turbine and other critical tech. IIRC Iran has a lot of R&D capacity and produces a lot of talent.

I'm not sure how well they absorb that talent given how their economy is relatively constrained, but why not make Pakistan a conduit? Send those Iranian PhDs to teach Pakistanis, help us set up genuine R&D centres, and kick-start actual programs?

Bilkul. Yaar ye log hum say Bohot aagay hain in industries that actually matter. Gas turbines/ compressors, drones, SAMs, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, ship building, commercial aircraft maintenance and overhauls, nanotechnology, stem cell research, power infrastructure and power plants, radar systems, oil n gas, petrochem, railway, space program and general fabrication/ manufacturing. They have the full spectrum ecosystem on nuclear too from mining to yellow cake to enrichment on a scale where we can’t even compete. We just get ours from China.

And surprisingly most people here have no idea.
