Satellite to deploy at an altitude of 36,000 km above the Earth
Pakistan launched on Thursday its second communication satellite today, PAKSAT MM-1, to further improve the country's digital communication infrastructure.
The satellite was sent into orbit and will deploy at an altitude of 36,000 km above the Earth.
The five-ton satellite is equipped with the latest communication equipment. “The satellite is expected to contribute to the establishment of a sophisticated communication network and help meet the growing demands of the telecom sector,” Suparco said.
The satellite is expected to take three to four days to stabilise in its designated orbit around the Earth, a Suparco official added.
“Its advanced capabilities will address the increasing demand for high-speed internet and seamless connectivity. This high-power multi-mission satellite will provide communication services in C, Ku, Ka Bands and SBAS services in L Band.”
