Satellite development efforts
initiated the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (LAPAN) since launch
Satellite A1-Tubsat in early 2007. Middle
of next year, the satellite agency to immediately launch the successor A1, the
A2 satellite in India.
Then within four years after
launching satellites A2, agency to plans to launch two satellites, one
experimental satellite and a satellite operation. The
move to create an independent satellite development.
Space agency chairman Satellite
Center, Suhermanto said, the pattern of development which is undertaken by the
Indonesian satellite is quite slow. This
is due to the support supporting the satellite technology industry in Indonesia
is very less.
"The cost is very
expensive, need to support the electronics industry, metal good," said
Suhermanto Satellite Center Space agency office in Bogor, Friday, August 31,
2012.
It compares with South Korea in
the rapid development of the satellite. Therefore, support for
good elektronikanya industry.
South Korea, he said, in the
near future, be able to apply that knowledge to direct the construction of
satellites from abroad. South
Korea even then could improve the ability to make a rocket launcher vehicle.
In addition to supporting
industry problem, at the premises tekendala satellite development by frequency
regulation, both domestically and abroad frequencies. Although
relatively slow development of Indonesian satellite, but Suhermanto said
pattern being run fairly systematic and got recognition of other countries.
"Satellite Development
here is considered good. Mozambique, Malaysia and Thailand recognizes our
experience in the development of the satellite," he said.
He said the Indonesian
satellite development pattern envisioned self-control satellite is gradually
making. Initially
the satellite development is done with knowledge transfer of technology from
foreign countries, and then trying to make the software as well as hardware
from within the country and by experts from Indonesia. "After
the transfer of technology, the existing systems in satellites should be in our
hands," he said.
Proficiency level of these
systems is the reaction wheel, star sensor (a navigational satellite attitude
can move the camera), camera, PCDH (Payload Handling Control Data),
transmitter, coding and encoding the data transmission.
With frequent launches
satellites into orbit also means that Indonesia can fill slots in outer space. According
to him, really lose if slots are not filled in outer space. Therefore,
the slot will be filled by the satellites of the major powers.
"In the right orbit slot
pay, it is set up slot. But if it is not used, the slot can be lost, we must
seize the orbital slot," he said.
