China launched a communications satellite on Friday that will be used by Pakistan, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported. The PAKSAT-1R satellite was launched by a carrier rocket at 00:15 am Friday (1615 GMT Thursday) and entered a geostationary orbit, Xinhua said, citing the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. It will be used for broadband Internet, telecommunications and broadcasting, the report said. China and Pakistan signed a deal for the satellite in 2008, their latest collaboration since China launched Pakistan's first low-orbit satellite in 1990, according to Xinhua.
