Re: ISRO
actually both india and pakistan were set up with the help of other nations particularly china and russia. Now this is quite understood because only those nations could have the economic and technological ability to run independent space programs (apart from usa ofcourse) at the time.
India’s first ever sattelite went up in 1975 with the help of soviet Cosmos-3M lauch vehichle. However, pakistan’s space program began in 1990 with the help of the chineese as the country had no spaceports in place. pakistan’s first sat was called badr-1 which was deployed from a chineese space port.
I think it is quite hard to guess how much the pakistani space program lags behind the indian, but it is behind quite a lot which is evident if you look at both countries launches and spaceports.
btw, is there any website for the pakistani space program.
