Does anybody know the spatial resolution of BADR-B?

[kumarakn]

Just came to know that it is sun synchronous (from DAWN). Got a few questions:

1. How frequently can it re-visit the same spot on earth?

2. What kinda camera is it? What is its spatial resolution?

3. Any link/sites on Pakistani space research (that gives details?)

ADMIN. plz remove posts like ranking of university & Kumarakn s post which has no relation to Pakistans betterment ,ethos ,philosophy & pride,

Geeks like zz,Andhra,Queer,Astrosofan & kumarakn would like to turn us into discussing thermodynamics & calculus like them

Indias education system is geared to its need & philosophy & it is of no interest to me whether they have management institute Or iit .We arnt going to go to them ,thank goodness,neither are we impressed by them.
Indians ae very much into scoring 1600 in sat good for them,that doesnt seem to impress us nor we aspire to be so
Pakistan painda bad .

Detailed info about Badr-B is available

at http://www.suparco.gov.pk/satbadar2.html

Camera:
=========
A compact, low-mass, wide-angle CCD camera
has been developed for remote sensing from
small or micro-satellites. The project will
take advantage of the opportunity of a low-
cost, short-timescale launch to produce
early data demonstrating the technology
available for ‘small cloud’ detection. It is
of particular interest to future satellite
instruments involved in the measurement of
sea surface temperature.


The 2.5 kg camera operates at visible
wavelengths and uses a large format CCD to
achieve 250 m x 250 m resolution on the
ground with a field of view of ±8.5°
(equivalent to 194 x 144 km on the ground).
The challenge in designing and building this
instrument has been the need to maintain
performance with restrictions on the
available space, mass, power and schedule

------------------
Is this info enough or you need more about
Pakistan's future Space program that looks
fairly advanced and encouraging !!!
I work for a Company Called "Lockheed Martin"
and have met several professionals from
Pakistan who are here to get advance
training. And I do get a lot of info about
Suparco's future plans.

Now a serious question. How much has Pakistan paid Russia to launch the BADR-B satellite.

Are Russians really the cheapest in the market? Wouldn't China be cheaper? Whats holding up Russians from sending that sattelite up? Anybody have any info?

[PureLand]

The satellite was sent to Russia in 1998,
at that time China did not have any planned
launch. But, now since the russian setellite
that will be launch with BADR-B has developed
some problems, the launch has been delayed.
Currently, russia is the cheapest one and
has more advance technology then china.
