斯里兰卡SupremeSAT公司准备与中国长城工业总公司(CGWIC)签订合同,四年内送斯里兰卡太空人上太空,SupremeSAT公司花费三亿美元购买中国卫星获得这个服务。

斯里兰卡将建立一个卫星地面站,可为其他国家提供服务。

There is a possibility of Sri Lanka sending an astronaut into space in less than four years. 

有可能在四年内将斯里兰卡宇航员送入太空。

This historic task has been undertaken by the Sri Lankan company SupremeSAT and China’s state- owned biggest satellite manufacturing institution, Great Wall Corporation (CGWIC). 

The agreement will be signed in Beijing where the Chinese company is based. 

在北京达成协议

SupremeSAT Managing Director R M Manivannan said SupremeSAT has already written a new chapter in Sri Lankan history by becoming the first institution in Sri Lanka to own a satellite. 

Only 44 countries own a satellite outright or in partnerships of three or fewer.“We have a co-branded satellite with the Chinese company in orbit from last month. 

Our next step is the building of our own company satellite at the Great Wall Corporation facility. This would be ready in two years and then it would be the first Sri Lankan owned satellite," he said. 

The total investment for this would be around US $ 300 million. 

总投资大约在3亿美元。

The first satellite Sputnik was built and launched by the Russians in 1957. There are over 900 satellites in operation today, of which 381 satellites are in Geostationary Orbit. 

Satellites have a typical life time of 15 years. Manivannan said their next aim is to train Sri Lankan youths with space technology and this would be initially done in China. "We will soon call for applications for 'would be astronauts'. After going through their records , we will send them for training to China," he said. "After three to four years, they will be able to undertake missions in space and sending a Sri Lankan to space would no longer be a dream," he said.
