RSGB News reports on a story in the Jakarta Globe. See http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/news/indonesian-space-program-to-launch-local-made-satellite/541131
I understand LAPAN-A2 will use S band (non amateur frequency) for video surveillance and the amateur frequency 437.425 MHz for telemetry. I gather there is another Indonesian satellite LAPAN-ORARI that will carry a 5 watt output FM voice transponder with a 435.880 MHz uplink and 145.880 MHz downlink as well as an APRS Digipeater on 145.825 MHz and a green light laser for attitude determination. Does anyone know when LAPAN-ORARI is likely to launch ? 73 Trevor M5AKA _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
