The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has introduced Pakistan’s Space-Based Augmentation System (Pak-SBAS) to provide more accurate and reliable positioning, navigation and timing services. According to a SUPARCO spokesperson, the system operates through Pakistan’s communication satellite PAKSAT-MM1. It is designed to improve the accuracy and reliability of navigation services. The technology is currently being used at the Thal Desert Rally, where it supports vehicle positioning and navigation. Its use is expected to improve the safety and efficiency of the racing event. Meanwhile, international interest in Pakistan’s satellite internet market is growing. Six satellite internet companies have registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP). Four companies completed registration after the establishment of the Pakistan Space Activities Regulatory Board. They include Aether One, Flinavotics, Galaxy Space and SpaceP. Starlink and SpaceCell Pakistan have also registered as local companies, bringing the total number of registered satellite internet firms to six. The SECP submitted a report on the registrations to the Senate Standing Committee after its chairman, Rana Mahmood-ul-Hassan, requested the information.
