Image courtesy of The Rocket & Satellite Company.
Pakistan’s first private space company, The Rocket & Satellite Company Limited, announced this week that it has registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Government of Pakistan.
The company announced that it will offer low-cost solutions in three main areas: space launch systems, satellite manufacturing, and ground segment as a service. In the long-term, the company plans to offer solutions in the areas of space debris and in-orbit satellite servicing to increase satellite life.
The Rocket & Satellite Company Limited’s space debris solution will reduce the risk of satellite and spacecraft in-space collisions due to space debris, saving significant money for space-based companies. Its focus will be to provide low cost space technology and provide solutions for the issue of space debris through the combined use of artificial intelligence (AI) and space tech.
Additionally, the the company will address in-orbit servicing to increase the lifespan of a satellite by providing platform for scientists, engineers, professionals, and students to offer their skills and serve space industries, ensuring the best solutions for the betterment of humanity.
The Rocket & Satellite Company Limited is based in Karachi and led by CEO Sami Ullah Khan. Further information is available on the company’s website, as well as its social media presence on Twitter and LinkedIn.

First of all read it as another Fauzi/Askari foundation.

Second, just answer one question.
Itna confidence laate kahan se hain?
Aapke paas bhi utna hi confidence hoga agar taxpayer aapki fauj ka jebb bharega(in perpetuity) aur aankh band karke jo bologe wahi maan lega.

I meant confidence in writing these .

I mean REALLY???????????????????
It seems they are considering space debris clean up as same as Karachi gutter clean up.

Additionally, the the company will address in-orbit servicing to increase the lifespan of a satellite by providing platform for scientists, engineers, professionals, and students to offer their skills and serve space industries, ensuring the best solutions for the betterment of humanity.
In orbit servicing of satellites? Again REALLY?????????????????????
First make a satellite of own and then talk about servicing it. It seems they have taken satellite servicing to be same as that of Mehran servicing.

PAKISTAN LOOKS AT EXPANDING SPACE DEVELOPMENT
In its budget for the 2021-2022 Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP), the Pakistani government is looking to allocate funds to study the feasibility of the following space development projects:
  • Establishment of Pakistan Space Centre (PSC).
  • The Pakistan Satellite Navigation Program (PSNP).
  • Development of a spaceport (i.e., a satellite launch vehicle site).
  • Pakistan Multi-Mission Communication Satellite (Pak-Sat-MM1).
  • Pakistan Remote Sensing Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellite (PRSS-S1).
  • Pakistan Optical Remote Sensing Satellite (PRSS-O2).
The government is conducting the feasibility studies through the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO). These programs are tentative in scope because they are currently limited to only assessing project feasibility and/or defining system requirements.[1]
Despite the uncertainty, Pakistan’s intent to pursue each of these programs date back to at least 2010.
For example, under ‘Space Vision 2040’, SUPARCO had revealed that it would launch at least three remote sensing satellites (RSS) and, ultimately, supplant its older satellites with new systems. The original timeline for launching the follow-on RSS units was in 2012-2020. SUPARCO evidently had to delay its timelines, but it seems that the current PSDP allocations are working towards the original plan.
Currently, Pakistan has one RSS satellite in space, i.e., the PRSS-O1, which China launched from its Jiuquan Launch Site Center (JLSC) on 09 July 2018. The PRSS-O1 is equipped with an electro-optical (EO) payload.
Pakistan Space Centre (PSC)
In terms of the PSC, the Pakistani government announced its plans to launch the organization in 2018. The PSC’s main function will be to design, develop, and manufacture satellites…
New Satellites
If the PSC gets off the ground, then it is possible that its first major satellite program could be the Pakistan Satellite Navigation Program (PSNP). The Pakistani military is increasingly relying on stand-off range cruise missiles and precision-guided bombs. Contemporary munitions of this type use a combination of inertial navigation systems (INS) and satellite-aided guidance. For the latter, most countries are content with GPS, but there is a chance the U.S. could cut GPS coverage in South Asia in a major conflict scenario. Thus, both India and Pakistan are looking into (and in India’s case, working on) domestic satellite navigation systems…
Possible Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) Program
The feasibility study of a spaceport likely points to the development of a satellite launch vehicle (SLV) site…

POSSIBLE satellite launch vehicle????

But Pakis have Jadidtareen indigenous mizzile program including so called MIRV capable Ababeel. Strangely enough SUPARCO is said to be a co-developer. Now an institution which could develop a MIRV capable mizzile is contemplating on developing a POSSIBLE satellite launch vehicle.

NUFF SAID.
