http://www.cubesatkit.com/]CubeSatellite Kit on order. I bet this is what their cube sat "invention" is.

Just like everything else the pakis claim they invented (remember their gyrocopter and "first south Asian" air plane "inventions"?) but bought their kits off the shelf. By the way, there's even a price list in that link above.

anupmisra, great. That Pumpkin company is also offering "Complete, finished and ready-for-launch CubeSat structure (in 0.5U, 1U, 1.5U, 2U or 3U size) . . . " I am sure it is one of those CBUs, not even assembled in the cuckooland.

Anupmisra, pre-owned satellites ? They once got such a non-functioning sat in order not to lose the slot back to ITU. I am sure money is made in all these deals.

Meanwhile, back in the Nutty Nation

Balochistan on Fire
QUETTA - At least seven people were killed and over 40 others wounded in separate incidents of bomb blasts, landmine explosions and armed attacks in various towns of Balochistan on Thursday. Four dead bodies too were recovered from Khuzdar and Panjgour districts.
At least five people including police and security personnel were killed and 23 others including women and children wounded in a powerful bomb blast in Quetta.
Police said unidentified people had fitted explosives with a motorbike and parked it at Sirki Road. The bomb exploded as a vehicle of Frontier Corps (FC) approached near. Three security personnel, a policeman and a scavenger were killed on the spot.
Most of the injured were passersby. Police and personnel of Frontier Corps rushed to the site after the blast and cordoned off the area. The rescue workers shifted dead and injured to Civil Hospital Quetta. Later the seriously injured were shifted to CMH for further treatment. The condition of three injured is said to be serious. And so on and so forth......

anupmisra ji, awesome find, it was depressing at the beginning of my day, indeed some "aero-engineering" hilarious, they also made a similar microlite helicopter, their water car invention too was off the scale...I started getting envious of their engineering and technology prowess as it took them only 10 years to develop this satellite when we took 3 decades or so.

Pakis are really hilarious bunch. But I am puzzled, why did they not change their name to "Babur the satellite" or something cubesat is a giveaway...

Hahahaha, poor Pakis, falling over each other to 'congratulate' each other for paying Russia to launch a 10 cm cube box made in UK. Holding on to straws has a new meaning.

Drunk PIA pilot jailed for nine months in UK
WTH only 9 months for the attempted massacre of 156 people?
A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) pilot was jailed for nine months in Britain on Friday for being drunk before he was due to fly a plane with 156 people on board.

Irfan Faiz, 55, was asked to leave the cockpit during checks for the flight from Leeds Bradford airport to Islamabad on September 18 because he smelled of alcohol and was unsteady on his feet.

The father-of-two was found to have three times the legal amount of alcohol in his blood, prosecutors told the court in Leeds in northern England.
His behavior would have been permitted in Pakistan, where the rules state only that there should be 12 hours between “bottle and throttle” no matter how much the pilot had drunk, the court was told.{WHAAAAT????}

Judge Peter Coulson described this rule as “extraordinary” and said he was also “astonished” to hear that pilots regularly flying out of Britain did not know about the far stricter regulations there.
{WTF} :shock:
Is this a paki version of islamic drinking? And these ******** are allowed to fly in India!!! Bludy hell. %#@$%%$#@@

Apparently they had spent Rs.35 Lakhs (Paki junk, of course) on "designing and building" this cubesat. Looks like they managed to cut out a square cardboard and screwed this kit on top of it. Even if they had bought this for 10K Euro, and spent an additional 2 rupees on the cardboard, it should have cost them only 14 Lakhs and 2 rupees in total. I think the rest is for chai, biscoot...

Lets not forget pakis became a nuke weapon state in 7 days after Shakti series 2 Indian nuke tests. Pakis also have missiles as delivery warheads without tech to launch satellites unlike India where scientists developed satellite tech first before long range missiles.

Its strange how four fathers of pakistan didn't launch its first satellite.

Cubesat? WTF? What a kafir haraam name for something so TFTA and bious??

Why not name their fun box after some brave, Arabic/Central Asian Islamic all-conquering ghazi who a$$-r@ped their g-g-g-g-g-g-g-great grandmas like Ghazni, Ghori, Bin-Qasim, Chenghiz, Kublai, Brophet etc?

Surely this would get the skinny Hindooooos shivering in their dhotis.

Drone aftermath: US doesn't want peace in Pakistan, says Nisar
Questioning the sincerity of US towards Pakistan, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said America doesn’t want peace in the country.

Nisar made this statement while speaking to media outside the parliament after Friday prayers. He was responding to the recent drone strike in Hangu.

“How can we consider US as our friend after this drone strike,” Nisar questioned, adding that he fails to understand why Sartaj Aziz believed in US assurances.

Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Aziz had recently said that America has assured Pakistan that drone strikes will not be carried out during talks with the Taliban

Blaming US involvement in the country for all the chaos, the interior minister said it is time Pakistan decides between “honour and US dollars.” :rotfl:

He added that American financial aid has not brought any positive change in the country.
ha ha ha, this is hilarious. given a choice between "honour" & "dollars", pakis would obviously take dollars. Because they never had any honour.

SSridhar wrote:The ouster of the heretics: what really happened in 1974 - Naddem Paracha, DAWN

I urge everyone interested in Pakistan to read this and understand how the Ahmedis were ex-communicated. Good work by Nadeem Paracha.
SSridhar, why do you think this is a good article? Paracha claims:
The League at the time was a mixture of modernist Muslims, secular democrats, pro-Jinnah ulema and even Marxists.

In fact, the League’s manifesto for the 1946 election was largely authored by socialists and Marxists, whereas much of the campaigning was done by the pro-League Islamic lobbies.
This is in line with what some Pakistani 'liberals' claim, that it was really Gandhi who was a religious fundamentalist, and introduced religion into politics, while the Muslim league was all modern, progressive, liberal etc. Above he claims that the 'Muslim' league was even Marxist :rotfl: . That is some transformation then, for a communist party to be taken over by religious radicals in less than a decade. It would be like the CPI (communist party of India) being taken over by the RSS, or the Nazis being taken over by the Green party. It would be unprecedented in the history of politics. And yet, according to some of the Paki liberals, that is exactly what happened, and it was all Congress's fault. A marxist progressive party in 1946 apparently passed the objectives resolution in 1949, created 'nazaria pakistan', was taken over by jamaatis in 1953, and ensured that instead of the country becoming a progressive secular place that broke feudalism by land reforms, became a more feudal religio-fascist state instead. And the religiously fundamentalist Congress with Hindoo fundamentalists such as Gandhi enacted a liberal progressive constitution, portions of which were even entrusted to a Dalit to write, outlaw untouchability, provide universal franchise, enact land reforms etc.

[quote="MurthyB"] SSridhar, why do you think this is a good article? [quote]
I do not think that any article, if dissected, would ever be completely to one's liking. The reason for my appreciation was about understanding how the Ahmedi ex-communication happened. Even assuming a stray reference to All India Muslim League's composition was wrong, it does not distract from the merit of the topic on hand which was Ahmedis.

At the 13th International Conference on AEROSPACE SCIENCES & AVIATION TECHNOLOGY, ASAT- 13, held between May 26 – 28, 2009, there was a paper presented by a bunch of Egyptian students who put this blue print out in 2009 that spells the step by step process to assemble a PICO satellite. Coincidence that the pakis started working on this in 2009? Hainji?

I wish I knew how to load up this PDF document on the forum so that you guys could also read it and verify.

Also, I was not kidding when I mentioned Ebay. here, click this link: Clicky Hiyar to assemble a satellite

By the way, please observe a moment of silence for the paki nerd who named this organization PIST (Pakistan Institute of Space Technology). Its right up there with SUARco.

Oh, that Nerd was trying to be cute. The "correct" name would have been Pakistan Institute of Space Sciences (PISS) and that was obviously changed to PIST to save echandee.

But you gotta hand it to the Inglees and PISS how protean it is with reference to Pakistan. So multiple uses in addition to Space Sciences likePakistan Institute of Strategic Studies (of the famous Jalebi maamn and her clutch of call girls), Pakistan Institute of Social Sciences (must be their equivalent of JNU), Pakistan Integrated Social Scheme , the possibilities are endless. In fact, PISS can describe much of Pakistan.

Saudis are now openly threatening that they will get Pakistan's Nukes.

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1 ... 2820387758

If Iran does go nuclear, Saudi Arabia may not be far behind. It has options. Riyadh underwrote Pakistan's atomic-bomb program and keeps the country's economy afloat with its largess. The "arrangement with Pakistan is too strong" to dismiss an almost overnight nuclearization of the Arab peninsula with their help, Mr. Alwaleed suggests. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who returned to power in June, lived in Saudi exile after a 1999 military coup. "Nawaz Sharif, specifically, is very much Saudi Arabia's man in Pakistan," Mr. Alwaleed says.

A Dnepr rocket launching from Yasny in Russia has set a record for the most payloads carried to orbit in a single mission.

The converted intercontinental missile released 32 objects in space - mostly small, so called "cubesats".

The main payload was a 300kg Earth imaging platform for the United Arab Emirates known as DubaiSat-2.

Weighing in at just 97g was an 8cm-long temperature sensor, due to be separated later from a Peruvian cubesat.

The Pocket-PUCP sensor is thought to be the smallest functional satellite ever put above the Earth.

The Dnepr launch occurred at 07:10 GMT.

It comes just a day after a US Minotaur 1 rocket put 29 satellites in orbit - again, mostly cubesats.

These diminutive spacecraft have become extremely popular with university groups in recent years.

Their simplicity and low cost means makes it possible for students to work on real space hardware.

British interest in Thursday's launch included Funcube-1. This 1kg box carries a transponder that will transmit signals that can be picked up by schoolchildren using a simple USB dongle receiver and small aerial.

The intention of the project, developed by Amsat-UK, is to get youngsters interested in radio, space, physics and electronics.

Although Funcube-1 is a British payload, the difficulties of obtaining space licensing under UK legislation means it is flying with a Dutch flag.

Amsat supporters had gathered on Thursday at the National Radio Centre at Bletchley Park to follow the launch. Telemetry confirming the health of Funcube-1 was picked up shortly after separation from the Dnepr.

Other UK interest centred on the Cinema 2 & 3 cubesats (also known as KHUSat 1 & 2). The pair are a collaboration between the University of California at Berkeley, South Korea's Kyung Hee University and Imperial College London and will study near-Earth environment and its interaction with the Sun.

Imperial's contribution is a mini-magnetometer called Magic to record conditions in the magnetosphere - the bubble of magnetic field lines that envelops the planet and deflects much of the matter thrown in our direction by the Sun.

One Cinema cubesat was launched in September last year.

has set a record for the most payloads carried to orbit in a single mission
Now pakis can rightfully claim they are part of history and but for their cubesat there would not have been a record. Damn!
