pakistan has a space programme ? which SLVs does it produce ?

Why does space programs have to always start with SLVs ?

Why does space programs have to always start with SLVs ?

A space program without Launcher is incomplete.

true. But Pakistan has enough ballistic missile technology not to start out on SLVs

They have to do it for real as well.

how else do you plan to get to space exactly

how else do you plan to get to space exactly

Space program is a lot more than just getting there to outer space

The biggest bang for the buck is space applications
remote sensing
broadcasting
telecommunications
weather
satellite navigation
military reconnaissance
science in general

It takes a lot of research tailored to a country to make the best use of satellites.

Sure satellite launch vehicles give you a sense of independence. Countries need to think more than just launching satellites

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

It is time Pakistan tested Longer Range speed rockets to go to moon
The bigger size rockets are crucial of course

$127 Million is very modest figure for Moon rockets

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.

SUPARCO launches RESOLVE R&D Lab for advancing space technology in Pakistan
18 November 2024



ISLAMABAD, Nov 18 (APP):In a significant move to enhance Pakistan’s capabilities in space technology and research, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) inaugurated its state-of-the-art RESOLVE R&D Lab at the National Center for Remote Sensing and Geo-Informatics (NCRG), SUPARCO Complex, Karachi.

Chairman of the Sindh Higher Education Commission (HEC), Prof. Dr. Tariq Rafi, graced the occasion as the chief guest of the ceremony, said a news release. This milestone marks a major step forward in Pakistan’s efforts to advance its capabilities in space technology and research.

In alignment with national goals for socio-economic and strategic growth, SUPARCO has established the RESOLVE (REsearch SOLutions and VEntures) initiative at the National Center for Remote Sensing and Geo-Informatics (NCRG) in Karachi.

The new Research and Development setup aims to establish technological research labs across North, Central, and South Pakistan, providing a collaborative platform for academia and industry to work on advanced technologies.

Equipped with high-performance computing resources, these labs are designed to foster an open, collaborative environment that enables researchers to address complex, real-world challenges.

The primary aim of the RESOLVE research labs is to promote research activities in academia and industry through outsourced, space-oriented R&D projects. This initiative not only aims to nurture a vibrant R&D culture across Pakistan but also provides opportunities for academia to engage directly with real-world projects, overseen by university faculty.

The outcomes of this research are intended to support Pakistan’s socio-economic and strategic objectives, aligning with the nation’s aspirations in the global space sector.

RESOLVE will focus on multiple domains including space avionics, algorithms development, artificial intelligence, image processing, robotics, software-defined systems, materials and composite structures, and aero-dynamics.

RESOLVE plans to conduct lectures, seminars, and specialized workshops on various space technology topics across universities in Pakistan.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) are in progress with multiple universities to formalize these collaborations, promoting knowledge sharing and technological advancements nationwide.
