 Pakistan's space programme was now split between the competition with PAEC, NDC, DESTO, PAF Missile Command, and the KRL.Despite its success in its space flight programme in the 1960s, SUPARCO began to face intense competition from its rival organizations to build the space boosters.In the 1980s, SUPARCO largely took participation in building the first space booster, "Hatf-I", but lost its credibility to KRL who derived the space vehicle into an operational missile.
