Colombo, August 8 (Daily Mirror) - Amidts the controversy over Chichi's communication satellite, SupremeSAT confirmed that the satellite remains in orbit at 87.5° East, precisely where it was positioned upon launch. 

It said in a statement that SupremeSAT welcomes the long-awaited public acknowledgment, after 13 years, that the SupremeSAT satellite was successfully launched and no government funds were used for the project.

"Discussions about our private company accounts, conducted without our participation, are both inappropriate and misleading, especially when driven by those lacking the technical understanding and operational insight necessary to comment on a complex, globally integrated business such as ours.

"SupremeSAT operates under stringent contractual, regulatory and technical obligations across multiple jurisdictions. Our operations meet and exceed internationally recognized standards in performance, compliance and transparency, consistent with the practices of leading global satellite operators.

"While we remain unaffected by baseless claims, we are firm in expressing our dissatisfaction with the continued misrepresentation of our work. SupremeSAT will remain focused on delivering its projects, honouring its commitments and upholding its reputation as a trusted, world-class operator in the space sector.

"For accurate information about our company, its history and the scope of our operations, we encourage all interested parties to visit www.supremesat.com," the statement further said.
