Islamabad, Jan 31, IRNA -- A multi-purpose small satellite developed
by China, Pakistan, Iran, Thailand and other countries will be
launched in 2006.
The News reported in its Monday issue that other countries who
were also party to the project were Bangladesh, Mangolia and South
Korea.
Work on the project was launched in 1992 under the tag of
multi-lateral cooperation, the report said.
A substantial breakthrough has been achieved in the past to set
up the Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organisation, the newspaper
added.
Brazil and some other countries outside the Asia-Pacific
region came as observers, and it has been agreed that the proposed
APSCO would be based in Beijing, according to The News.
