Institute of Aeronautics and Space Agency (LAPAN) based in Rancabungur, Bogor, successfully made satellite imagery and radio catcher that was named Lapan A2. Lapan A2 is a result of the development of the Lapan-Tubsat satellite which launched in 2007. Lapan-Tubsat purely artificial LAPAN although researchers in the development cooperation with Technische Universitat Berlin, Germany. Lapan- Tubsat development success motivated LAPAN to develop the next satellite purely designed, built and tested in Indonesia, namely the satellite Lapan A2.
LAPAN A2 satellite sensors have been equipped with Automatic Identification System (AIS), which serves to identify the ships that sail in the waters of Indonesia. The satellite will be the first satellite with a sensor payload AIS equatorial orbit, which form a diagonal horizontal orbit along the equator. The satellite will cross the territory of Indonesia as much as 14 times in one day with a crossing time of around 20 minutes per track.
LAPAN A2 satellite has three main missions: earth observation, monitoring ships and amateur radio communications. Indonesia's ocean monitoring satellite will be launched from the Sriharikota space base, India in the second quarter of 2013, right after PSLV-C23 rocket owned by India finished on the make. Creation and development process of this satellite at a cost of 35 billion rupiahs. The cost do not include the fund launch in India.
Here are the specifications of the satellite Lapan A2.
