9ja house of comedy! we must sha av somfin 2 laf abt in ds country.

wat else do u xpect?

no, it leads to AIDS/HIV vires.

Noooo!!! The thing no lost o!!!! We know its out there in space, we just don't know where,

But seriously, like some other people have stated earlier, technologies can malfunction and the Nigerian satellite is no exception.
From the government's responses so far, I gather that the satellite and the entire project was insured so it is not a total loss.
Nigeria cannot afford to be left behind in this forward moving world and 1 failed satellite project shouldn't sound the death knell for future experiments.

Let us ask our Former President.He was watching in a suspicious way when he was briefed about this white elephant project, SEE NTA VIDEO
It is high time we spend money on Nigerians rather than waste the money on CARS NIG SAT
May God Help Nigeria
EFCC
THIS IS A GOOD JOB.
I SMELL RAT RABBIT AND DOG.

e no go better for all these nigerian leaders, walahi!

nonsence, see wetin these sons of bitches are saying, they are not even ashamed[i], satellite missing in space[/i]?, so u just put a satellite in space with no monitoring team(space station)?, these guys have advanced, satellite Sas turned into cars and planeS wey dey dissapear for naija abi? , watch out people, the MOON WILL SOON GO MISSING,, IDIOTS.

The question is; Is it NEPA or whatever it's called now supplying the electricity?
That geographical entity is just a huge joke.
I hope it falls safely in front of Aso Rock without harming anybody.

Nigerian Satellite Begins Fall to Earth

Nigeria's multi-billion naira communications satellite is spinning out of control just 18 months after its launch and has commenced its descent to earth, the Voice of America reported last night.
The Chinese built Nigerian Communication Satellite 1 (NigComSat) which was built at the cost of N40 billion, was expected to provide broadband Internet and communications services for government agencies and the private sector.
But the management of NigComSat had allayed fears early in the week over the satellite saying the situation is under control and that it was only experiencing power problems which had developed from a faulty solar panel.
But critics have called the device a white elephant project that was hurriedly executed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo .
The VOA quotes Paul Ceruzzi who is curator of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum as saying "(The) satellite, once it is placed in orbit, has to be managed so that it points in the right direction, just like driving a car down the road.
“The antennas have to point to the ground, the solar panels have to point to the sun and they (must) have fuel on board (that) powers tiny rockets that do that or other means of stabilizing it.
“But sometimes they run out of fuel or the Sat system breaks down. Then it stays there in orbit and begins to tumble, if it loses contact with the solar panels or (they are) no longer pointing at the sun, then it losses electrical power.
“If the antennas are no longer pointing at the ground, then there is no way to communicate with it. So it becomes some kind of dangerous piece of junk flying at 17,000 miles an hour; it can be a serious problem.”
Ceruzzi said it is unusual for new satellites to fail. “In the early days of the space programme things like that happened a lot.
“But over the years they have gotten more reliable. But it does happen. It has happened from time to time and the other issue of course is that all satellites, eventually run out of fuel and they potentially can have the same fate unless people do things to actively manage them for that day. But for something to fail so soon after launch is rare today but it does happen.”
Ceruzzi said it is difficult to have an advance warning of the precise location where a satellite might come down.
Scientists may have such a warning “only in the few hours or so before it actually comes down. It could stay up there for months or years even and then atmospheric drag will slowly bring it out of orbit. And then, only at the very last moment, do you really know where it is going to hit."
THISDAY, last Wednesday reported that the satellite was missing from orbit and that activities manned by the satellite would grind to a halt.
Concerns have also been raised that the huge amount spent by the Nigerian government might be lost except the technical problem, which is believed to be significant, is resolved.
The satellite was said to have started experiencing technical hitches for a while prior to this latest displacement largely due to the fact that it was said to be using a technological standard not meant for Africa but for Asia.
The contract for the NigComSat project was signed on December 15, 2004 in Abuja between China Great Wall Industry Corporation and the National Space Research and Development Agency and was said to have cost the Federal Government over N40 billion. China was awarded the deal after it outbid 21 other international rivals.
The satellite fiasco has made Nigeria the butt of jokes with the BBC in a report on its website describing the operation of the satellite as a debacle and a white elephant in space.
The issue is said to have made the country, currently battling with infrastructure problems such as power, a laughing stock, with emails saying Nigeria has "exported its electricity generation problems to space" being circulated.

why wont the international community make it a laughing stock when Nigerians themselves see nothing good in what is done in the country?

lmbao

Firstly, it was missin
Secondly, it is now parked like a car for Obj's garage abi
Shey dey done comot d tyres and cover am wit nylon
Nigerians think say na only dem sabi do yahoo yahoo
Now who be d magga
No be all these Chinese batteries wey no dey get label dem carry put for dia lol

K

This is a serious matter, I see no reason why we should joke about our Satellite here, in fact I shed tears when i first heard about the missing Sati, I wonder why Nigeria is like this' our problems have defer all know solutions

If the Satellite is really falling back to earth, can we at least get real experts in here, possibly outsource this, so we at least get this one right. Last thing I want to hear is news of a Nigerian satellite smashing hundreds somewhere.

Kobojunkie:

ha it's most likely going to fall into some ocean. the earth is mostly made of water anyway. the kwe kwe satelite would disintegrate into pieces before passing through the earth's gravitational field.   the only thing that would fall on people's head is the panti chinese technicians used to make it

Well for the record this is not the first satelite issues we are having. Have any one bothered searching about nigeriasat-1. Which seem to be malfunctioning and nobody is saying anything about it yet. Cus the Satellite is dead and the head of the agency has decided to sack most of the engineers trained for the job.

bawomolo:

ha it's most likely going to fall into some ocean. the earth is mostly made of water anyway. the kwe kwe satelite would disintegrate into pieces before passing through the earth's gravitational field. the only thing that would fall on people's head is the panti chinese technicians used to make it

LOL

it had better be because if it falls in naija,we are def not ready for any kind of emergency like that.lots of peeps will surely die.

Can a satellite be missing in orbit?
Abeg, let them check the numerous galaxies!

What about the Govt. Nuclear Plant Project?

I think we need to  have a rethink about all these new High-Tech Project.

The N40 billion Nigerian Communications Satellite (NigComSat) designed, developed, manufactured and launched by the Chinese is the second Chinese-made satellite to fail in orbit in two years.
NigComSat, which was launched with fanfare just 18 months ago in China, has become the second out of four satellites launched so far by the Chinese to have failed and both failures have involved the electrical systems on the satellite.
THISDAY has gathered that China’s first DFH-4 satellite also failed in orbit in late 2006. NigComSat is the second DFH-4 satellite built by the Chinese.
China's first DFH-4 satellite called SinoSat 2 designed to provide Chinese communication services to the Pacific also failed in orbit and was described as the worst in-space breakdown suffered by the Chinese.
Chinese officials had in November 2006 confirmed that SinoSat 2, a new communication satellite which it launched October same year, had failed and would have to be replaced.
Sinosat-2 was launched October 29, but one of the spacecraft’s solar panels apparently failed to deploy properly, depriving the spacecraft of the power needed to operate. The officials had also disclosed then that a replacement for SinoSat-2 would take at least three years to build and launch.
The DFH-4 bus is a high-power system developed to form a foundation for new Chinese civil and military communication satellites as well as foreign sales.
THISDAY gathered that the NigcomSat1, a communication satellite which is now missing in orbit, might have been built to fail from the very beginning. This is because its manufactured mechanical components from the start had issues.
A few months after its launch, the International Communications Union was said to have written to Nigerian authorities alerting them of the fact that NigComSat was not sitting in its expected position in orbit.
Since positioning is critical, that singular fact showed that it was a matter of time before things go awry. If NigComSat could not stay in its exact position and it could not be maneuvered to stay in its proper place, it meant there was no control and it was only a matter of time before it will go burst.
Following THISDAY’s report that the satellite was missing in orbit, the Federal Government had said it “parked due to loss of energy” as it was not being recharged.
The management of NigComSat had also admitted that the satellite was experiencing technical problems due to a fault with the Solar Panel causing outage.
The Minister of State for Science and Technology, Dr. Alhassan Zaku, had informed Nigerians that the satellite developed a technical fault that resulted in the inability of the operational batteries to be charged by the solar panels.
The Voice of America (VOA) reported at the weekend that the satellite had fallen out of space.

Imagine, how can satelite of billions miss in the orbit without proper explanation? They should not take our fatherland for granted, it will not urgue well with them.

Agency dashes hope of recovering 'missing' satellite(GUARDIAN NEWSPAPER)

By Sonny Aragba-Akpore

THE Nigerian Communications Satellite Limited (NigComSat) may have foreclosed the recovery of the parked NigComSat-1 satellite powered down eight days ago as a result of solar panel power shut-out.

The Guardian learnt that preparatory to the eventual shut-down of the satellite, the power supply to the system had dropped from 42 amps to 33 and hit 18 amps by Monday night, a situation which may have created bigger problems for NigComSat and its owners, the Federal Government, if it was not powered down.

The Guardian learnt that the Chinese contractor, China Great Wall Industry Corporation, was yet to handover the management of the satellite to NigComSat, and that the proper handover was due on May 13, 2009. The Chinese had entered into an agreement for 15 years technical back-up, which began on May 14, 2007 when the satellite was launched.

The Guardian also learnt that if the system was not powered down, the insurers would have denied any culpability for what could have amounted to negligence on the side of Nigeria and the managers of the system.

Eight days after, the chances of recovering the satellite are very slim, managing director of the company, Mr. Ahmed Rufai, confirmed to The Guardian yesterday.

Rufai said although the contractors to the project, China Great Wall Industry Corporation, are yet to make any categorical statement on the potential for recovery, " from our observatory here in Abuja, the chances are slim."

NigComSat-1 thus joins the long list of satellites that disappeared and parked in the orbit since January this year.

There are 19 altogether and NigComSat-1 is the 18th. Because its safe mode power failure occurred the same day, November 10, that Orbcomm satellite had its problems announced to the global community.

NigComSat-1 was launched on May 14, 2007 from Xichang Satellite centre in Sichuan province.

The cost for the satellite, space craft and ground stations in Abuja and China was $256 million out of which the Chinese government underwrote $200 million while the Federal Government contributed $56 million. The satellite itself was accepted as collateral.

The underwriting company was Munich Cray of Germany and 25 other multinational re-insurers in Russia, France and China at a cost of �116 million.

Zenith Insurance, leading a consortium of Nigerian re-insurers, underwrote 10 per cent of the cost.

Rufai said besides the $200 million seed money which the Chinese government contributed, another loan of $500 million was ready for grabs by NigComSat for the launch of NigComSat-2 and NigComSat-3.

He explained that the Chinese government granted the loan to be repaid in 20 years at the interest rate of 2.5 per cent yearly with a five-year moratorium.

"So, with the insurance coverage for NigComSat-1, the government of China is ready to replace the NigComSat-1 and still build NigComSat-2 and 3 at no extra cost to Nigeria," he said.

According to him, the mistake made in NigComSat-1 was principally because there was no back-up power. "It was taken for granted," he explained but in subsequent ones, that will be taken into very serious consideration."

As an interim measure, Rufai said NigComSat was now ready to migrate its customers to other leased satellite pending when a new satellite would be put in place.

He said that his company was ready to lease four or five transponders (satellite circuits) to enable its customers return to business.

Organisations affected include National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Zenith Bank, Intercontinental Bank, Skye Bank, Diamond Bank, Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), Visafone, Etisalat and some security outfits such as PC4 and CIT.

"All of them are being migrated gradually," Rufai explained.

He said with his preliminary talks with the Chinese, they were willing to grant NigComSat access to some temporary satellite covering Nigeria as a stop gap pending when a new satellite is put in place.

He said that the Chinese "have also agreed to re-build NigComSat-1 at no extra cost to Nigeria and they will do this even before the insurers pay the money insured and this could take a while."

Newskies Satellite operating on Astra 2B platform has also offered NigComSat transponders to remedy the situation.

While admitting that businesses connected to NigComSat-1 may have incurred severe losses, Rufai said NigComSat was willing to go beyond the contract it signed with them.

For instance, many of them signed a non-pre-emptive contract, which meant no liability to NigComSat "but because we need to be in business we should be able to reconnect as quickly as possible."

NigComSat-1 stopped functioning on Monday, November 10, 2008.

Spokesperson to Great Wall Industry Corporation, the contractors to the project, Ku Geng, said that "the solar wing malfunctioned, which led to exhaustion of electric power and then the satellite failed."

"Most satellites carry solar panels on an extendable wing to generate electricity, with back-up batteries activated only when in the Earth's shadows," he explained.

FROM GUARDIAN NEWSPAPER

This is a strong sign of great technological development which even
the United states of America has not yet achieved

Reliable and undisclosed sources have it that NEPA/PHCN
switched of power to the satellite from one of their power
stations in Nigeria

NEPA/PHCN is now in space !!!

Yes this whole fiasco has been a monumental failure, digrace, embarassment, etc. However i hope that such does not actually draw people away from the fact that a Nigerian owned satellite in space would be highly beneficial in advancing so many areas of the economy especially the telecommunications sector (phones, broadband, etc). While some may argue where such lies as a priority with the current state of the country, i do feel that the main hindrance to development in the country has very rarely been money but actually fiscal responsibility and hence making sure that money assigned for projects is actually spent on projects and not 3/4 of the money "chopped" while the rest is used for the project. In other words the issue remains corruption and fiscal responsibility. The country's infrastructure, educational, power, agric, health and many other sectors are not in delapidation because of lack of money to focus on such areas but simply because money budgeted for such areas are not spent on such areas. How much money was meant to be "spent" on roads during the last administration and how much was actually spent on roads? I think we should all perhaps vaguely familiarise ourselves the budgets being passed by the house if for no other reason than to get involved an educate ourselves on how the country is being run

So is the issue about wether money cannot/shouldn't be spent on a satellite which could be very beneficial and the value of such so easily recovered or wether the money allocated to such is actually used for such?

omo i hope they got geico insurance on that satelite. ha ha. it's a learning process for nigeria's young democracy

Wapic Insurance plc, other Nigerian underwriting firms and a foreign underwriter formed part of the consortium of insurers that provided insurance cover for the recent launch of Nigeria’s first communications satellite, NigComSat-1.

The satellite was launched by Nigeria from the Xichang Satellite Centre, China, on Sunday, May 13 2007, (5pm local time).

Segun Balogun, managing director, Wapic Insurance plc, said the company’s involvement in the project was a demonstration of the company’s resolve to support government’s initiatives and programmes, targeted at launching the nation into the information superhighway.

Balogun said: "The successful launch of NigComSat-1 is a confirmation of the effort of the Nigerian government to put the country in the technology world map and to provide a robust information communications and technology (ICT) platform for the country and indeed the whole of African continent. [size=15pt]Wapic Insurance is very proud to have been a part of the historic event.
[/size]
"Furthermore, our company truly identifies with this effort and therefore put our weight behind it by underwriting a part of the risk, about N2-billion worth of it. In doing this, we were also inspired by the belief that the business climate in the country is now good enough for such a commitment. Wapic will continue to explore such important and unique opportunities in the future", he said.

The 5,086kg communications satellite, first of its kind to be launched by an African country, is designed to operate in the C, KU, KA and L bands and is Africa’s geostationary communications satellite expected to offer broadcasting telecoms and broadband services, and is wholly owned by Nigeria.

he he na gbese be this

$333 Million? roflamo

Yar a'dua is proving to be better than I ever imagined he would be.

In the midst of all this uncertainty with the world financial system, maintaining a satellite in orbit should be the least of our worries, moreso when the thing does not seem to be producing any responsible data.

The president seems to be putting down his foot and getting things done slowly but surely. First, he sends everyone (including Sepp Blatter) into a frenzy in a bid to cut down the budget for hosting the FIFA junior world cup, which he accomplished. Now, this.

I am very convinced that this is no coincidence at all. The story put out by the government is very different from the reality. I'm sure ( or at least I hope) this is all orchestrated and has nothing to do with reality. Nigeria will save billions a year if we don't have some useless satellite running around in space threatening the really useful ones.

all this people think say we be foool, china wey produce the sat there own don miss. STORY STORY STORY . MAKE ALL OF THEM GO DIE

Why use the Chinese when for the same money you can get a state of the art one from the Americans or the Europeans? What do the Chinese know about space compared to the Americans and Europeans?

Nigeria has in the past launched satellites using rockets built by other nations, but Nigeria should develop a space program to launch a satellite into space using a Nigerian-made rocket.The Nigeria's National Space Research and Development Agency, or NASRDA have to be more ambitious and create its own satellite-launching program in Nigeria.

okay okay we now know that are no fishes in space and who the real blockheads are. from the stars to the mud we have finally been told the truth that NIGCOMSAT1 is beyond repairs. kaput, finished, end of movie. All subscribers are being relocated. this is a DISGRACE!!!!. now i hear that Nigerians may have to secure a loan to rehabilitate this satellite. only in Nigeria can such a shambolic charade happen and the Government is going on as business usual. we will not accede to any loan that would eventually yoke us and our children. No way and may God punish Obasanjo and the Chinese!!!!

rehabilit8? park? repair? 4 wia?

heard on Channels last 9t say 9jcomsat CEO don finally agree say 'd sat is irretrievably lost in space'! & instead of takin responsibility n resigning he dey ask make d House approve $500m for 9jcomsat II!! ha, 9ja house of comedy n shame. .we r xpectin more 2 com sha. long live 9ja house of wareva
