"Pakistan first tested its SLV on January 10, 1989 carrying a payload of 150 kg travelling to 640 km. Payload was recovered on Pakistani territory. This program was assisted by the Federal Republic of Germany and China. As a surface-to-surface ballistic missile, it's range would be in excess of 2,200 km."

Whatever lie they do say, it would always lead one way or other to missiles.
I am pretty sure that this news came up recently after this Ababeel test. Look what they have quoted as range. Now question is, if they had tested it in 1989, what took them this long to test Ababeel?

CDA to get satellite images to ‘identify’ encroachments in Capital

ISLAMABAD: On the directions of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the CDA now seems serious to curb encroachments as the planning wing of CDA in collaboration with Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), the national space agency, is all set to identify encroachments in capital through the satellite system.

Two meetings in this regard were already held; SUPARCO will update CDA’s Planning Wing every month by providing them updated and detailed images of every sector in capital.

SUPARCO would establish its setup in CDA headquarters in coming weeks; then it would provide the images twice a week to help CDA, instead of sending its field officers to assigned areas and sought reports.

The CDA has been focusing on the developed sectors only while ignoring a significant portion of the capital where buildings have been constructed without following the rules. Resultantly, the rural areas of the federal capital where housing schemes are being developed haphazardly are staining the image of the capital city.

Recently, under CDA’s 1960 ordinance, it was notified that CDA would implement its building bylaws in all of Islamabad after which no construction is allowed anywhere in the capital without the permission of the civic agency.

“This move would help CDA to mark the encroachments by comparing it from the images of previous months, this will become too easy for CDA now,” said an official of MCI.

The move was launched after all mechanisms of CDA to curb encroachment have proved vein. It is noted that, till the local administration has failed to control the menace of encroachments in the city, as after every operation, encroachments resurfaces.

Earlier, the prime minister in a strongly worded letter reprimanded the CDA. Following the letter, four officials of the civic agency were also suspended.

After this episode, Mayor-cum-Chairman CDA, Sheikh Ansar Aziz assured Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that the federal capital would be given a “new look” within 90 days. However, the promised time would expire next month, April 6.

Talking to Pakistan Today, the mayor said that the PM has directed him earlier to coordinate with SUPARCO and make a mechanism to identify encroachments on time and act accordingly.

It is relevant to mention here that recently, the Supreme Court of Pakistan also took notice of a number of municipal bylaws being violated in the protected Bani Gala, Islamabad.

The apex court has sought a detailed report from the capital’s civic agency within 10 days about alleged continuous large-scale encroachments on a large chunk of land allocated for the botanical gardens, the absence of a waste disposal system and haphazard construction of multi-storied plazas in the area.

When contacted, Mayor Sheikh Anser Aziz said that this new mechanism would help the authority to identify the encroachmen.

“I have instructed concerned enforcement staff to crackdown on a daily basis to clean the city at any cost,” he claimed. He said that it was his duty to clean this city from encroachment mafia.

how to determine fajar ? how to determine maghreb timings as there is no sunrise or sunset
i think these pose theological questions which have to go back to the ulama in saudi arabia for decisions ??
@Neo @ Zarvan @rajapakistani @mussalman

I wouldn't be surprised to see Chinese transfer some low tech elementary SLV to Bakis, probably one of the phased out Long March series....abridged ) .

what most westerners and chinese dont realise is that Pakistanis are far, far more intelligent than shimps

give pack slv tech ?? ok .....it will come back to roost , with a bang ....literally
china thinks pak is v grateful ..... they dont know just like cpec plan to takeover pak, pack also has a plan for ccpchina !!

Behenji, you have a weird kind of humor. Normally I would have ignored this post but I am tagged I will reply in fashion.
I have no answer to any of your interesting questions .....

in all honesty they are sincere qns
i am "studying " islam through the youtube videos of sheikh maulana imran hosein ....can check his videos , he has a large following of orthodox christians especially from eastern europe and we take him seriously and respect his version of islam ... best wishes, salaam .( ps i do accept your point about the niyat ! )

 

[Kalki_2018]

Soviets send dogs to space, Americans send chimps. Chinese are sending pakis. But anyway seems like another paki will pay for trip kind of deal. Like the pakistani pindigenous satellites.

I have no answer to any of your interesting questions but I quess that if Indian cosmonaut on board of a Soyuz can figure out how to take a dump in a space suit rather than his favorite sarson ke khet or gajar mooli ka khet, our astronauts would have no problem facing the Kaaba since it can be seen from the space. In Islam its all comes down to 'niyat'. When the niyat is right, qubuliat will never be a problem.

This issue of how to offer Namaz in space had been discussed some international Islamic conference long back.

As a devout Muslim, how would he know where to turn to face Mecca from orbit? With a sunset and sunrise occurring on the ISS every 90 minutes, when should he fast for Ramadan? With water at an absolute premium in space, how would he ritually wash himself? To answer his questions, Malaysia called a conference of 150 Islamic scholars, who produced possibly the first religious guide to worshiping in space.

Approved by the country’s National Fatwa Council (thus making it official, at least in Malaysia), the document sets out the rules for a new generation of Muslim scientists intent on heading for the stars. Among its recommendations were mentally projecting Mecca’s holy mosque (the Ka’aba) into space to avoid praying to the floor and using local time at the launch site to determine sunrise and sunset. A damp cloth or symbolically striking a mirror were decreed to be acceptable stand-ins for ritual washing, while the Halal problem was got around by advising space-faring Muslims to eat only enough to ward off hunger.

As others have pointed out, many of these rulings open up further paradoxes for taking religion into space. What happens when a team of Muslims from different launch sites works together in space? Do they designate one launch site for sunrise and sunset or all work on different time zones? Other issues have yet to be addressed. A new Islamic month starts with the first sighting of the crescent moon: Will that include the moons of future planets we may explore? These are just a few of the issues in the cards for the future.

So 2 Paikhananaughts? Would they blow up after launch or before launch?

Difficult to say, but given their aptly chosen name and lineage, they'll definitely stink up the place from earth to heavens.

Didn't this jackass also say that the PAF has been given orders to shoot down US drones?? Lol! He's had one too many of.....

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is set to launch an ambitious space programme during the next fiscal year with an aim to keep an eye on the Indian side and reduce its dependence on foreign satellites for civil and military purposes, according to a media report.

Several projects will be initiated to develop self-reliance capacity and reduce dependence on foreign satellites, mainly the US and French satellites for civil and military communications.

The budget of the Space andUpper Atmosphere Research Organisation(Suparco) for the upcoming fiscal year 2018-19 is Rs 4.70 billion which includes Rs 2.55 billion for three new projects,Dawn Newsreported.

Suparco has been regularly conducting activities each year to increase awareness of space technology and to promote its peaceful usage amongst students and the masses in Pakistan since 2005.

The funding includes allocation of Rs 1.35 billion for Pakistan Multi-Mission Satellite (PakSat- MM1) and the country is also planning to establishPakistan Space CentreinKarachi, Lahore andIslamabadwith the allocation of Rs 1 billion.

The third project is establishment of Space Application Research Centre in Karachi with the budget of Rs 200 million in 2018-19, the report said.

The total cost of PakSat-MM1 is Rs 27.57 billion and that of the space centres is Rs 26.91 billion, it added.
Advanced space programme is the need of time not only due to growing demand from the civil communications, including the GPS, mobile telephony and the internet but due to changing scenario in the region also, analysts have said.

"There are two unusual developments in the region effecting the strategic situation - first of all Pakistan has to keep an eye on Indian side and previously their programme had limited quality advancements but now the US has active cooperation with the Indian satellite programme," Maria Sultan, a defence analyst said.

 

[lcafanboy]

Of late, too much Lahori chana eaten by Porkies, so too much gas has build up and seeing Indian space prowess decided to FART a big time to gain claps from madrasa studied porki illiterate citizens...

But with that kind of budget maybe a few sounding rockets could be fired with chinese help by painting green their rockets and naming them with their rapist forefathers like Taimur, Ghazi, Babuur...

As for satellites China will happily provide one and they can rename PakSat mm1 in return for more land and sovereignty.

The only technology that Porkies have is Jinn and Roohani technology which doesn't work in space, it works in madrasas where they are taught how to send their ROCKET inside a GOAT, DONKIES and BACCHAS......:biggrin2::biggrin2:

So Chinese space agency is getting 2.55 billion in short.

Maria Sultan is not a "defence analyst". She is an employee of the Government of Pakistan, specifically serving as a civilian war strategist at the Ministry of Defence.

She is completely illiterate about space technology and has no idea what she's talking about. She is one of the many million donkeys the Porki military-intelligence establishment is stuffed with.
