 In 2003, Pervez Musharraf and Shaukat Aziz began to forcefully push SUPARCO to pursue and deliver an active space programme.Funds and government support were increased personally by Pervez Musharraf as he goaded the space programme as "next logical frontier".In 2004, SUPARCO launched an ambitious project to develop the country's first Geo-stationary satellite; the new project was known as "Paksat-1Replacement".
