China will launch a communications satellite for Pakistan at an “appropriate time” in the coming days, a spokesman said Wednesday.
A spokesman for the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China’s Sichuan Province said that the satellite, the PAKSAT-1R, will be carried by a Long March-3B carrier rocket.
Both the satellite and rocket are currently in good condition, according to the spokesman.
