Chinas academy of Space Technology will soon be providing Pakistan a communication satellite under a bilateral exchange agreement to help aid in building a large and effective telecommunication network.

According to reports, the academy has made seven communication satellites available for overseas users, including Pakistan.

Zhou Zhicheng, head of the Institute of Telecommunication Satellite said that they re executing export contracts for more than 10 such satellites.

However, the also said the Pakistan still needs to catch up with top developers of communications satellites in the US and Europe when it comes to high-end tech capacity.

In the mean time, China will also be launching its most advanced communication satellite yet in April, as it begins building a massive capacity network that would enable passengers on jetliners and high-speed trains to use the internet.

Shijian 13, will take off on a Long March 3b carrier rocket from Xichange Satellite Launch Center in the Sichuan province.

The satellite, which weighs 4.6 metric tons, will stay for 15 years in a geostationary orbit about 36,000 kilometers above Earth, the academy said.

The satellite features a Ka-band broadband communications system capable of transmitting 20 gigabytes of data per second; making it the most powerful communications satellite the nation has developed.

Shijian 13 will use electric propulsion after it enters orbit, which will extensively reduce the chemical fuel the satellite carries. Moreover, it will conduct space-to-ground laser communications experiments, the academy said.
