President inaugurates LAPAN-A2 satellite
Kamis, 3 September 2015 14:50 WIB | 510 Views

Bogor, West Java (ANTARA News) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) inaugurated Indonesias first equatorial satellite LAPAN-A2/LAPAN-ORARI at the National Aviation and Space Institute (Lapan) technology center in Bogor, West Java, on Thursday.

"By saying bismillahirahim, we inaugurate this satellite," the president stated at the Lapan technology center at Rancabungur, Bogor, on Thursday.

President Jokowi remarked that he highly lauded and respected Lapans development team for its concrete research.

"There is a pressing need to conduct concrete research such as this," the president stated in the company of Research and Technology Minister M. Nasir, Lapans Chief Thomas Djamaludin, and West Java Deputy Governor Deddy Mizwar.

The LAPAN-A2/LAPAN-ORARI satellite will be flown aboard a cargo aircraft to India and will then be launched into its orbit by an Indian rocket.

Djamaludin stated that the LAPAN-A2 satellite was purely the work of Indonesian scientists and is the successor of LAPAN-A1 satellite, which was made in Germany.

"The LAPAN-A2 is intended to be used 80 percent for experimental purposes and 20 percent for operational purposes," the Lapan chief remarked.

Djamaludin emphasized that Lapan had since 2003 been developing the satellite by studying in Germany and then producing the LAPAN-A1 satellite.

Djamaludin explained that after returning from Germany, he applied the knowledge gained from the visit to the country to produce LAPAN-A2.

The LAPAN-A2 satellite will be orbiting near the equator, with an inclination of six degrees at an altitude of 630 kilometers from the earths surface.

Weighing 78 kilograms, this satellite will perform the mission of monitoring the earths surface and identifying ships and amateur radio communications (ORARI).

The micro satellite will orbit close to the equator and will pass over Indonesia 14 times per day. (*)

As silly as it maybe sounds, it is the law. We require TOT for every defence procurement from abroad. But don't imagine a complete and robust technology transfer. This could be just TOT on support, maintenace and such.

Yah exactly, although it sounds very exaggerated but that's the rules to be followed when the weapons producer want to sell their products to Indonesia. But of course ToT itself has a very broad sense in which maintenance, repair, and spare parts manufacture is part of the transfer of technology.. And for this Sukhoi case seems our govt wants a ToT in terms of engine repair and maintenance, so we wouldn't have to bother sending it to Russia just only for the engine servicing, and if the deal is approved, sure it will save our maintenance costs..

Sukhoi Su-35 To Replace Indonesian F-5 Tiger Aircraft






Indonesia has selected Russian Su-35 fighter aircraft to replace 16 F-5 Tiger aircraft."We (Armed Forces Commander and Air Force Chief) agreed to buy a squadron of Sukhoi SU-35 from Russia to replace F-5 Tiger fighter aircraft,” Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu was quoted as saying by Tempo website.

The decision was made by Ryacudu after a surprise Army weaponry inspection in three units, namely Kopassus, Yonkav 1/1 Kostrad and Mechanised Infantry Battalion 201 Yudha Jaya, in Jakarta, on September 2.The Ministry of Defense considered Sukhoi as a replacement for the F-5 Tiger, he said, because Air Force pilots are accustomed to flying Sukhoi.If the deal goes through, it will be the first export of the Sukhoi Su-35 outside of Russia. China too is reported to be negotiating to buy the aircraft.

"Now we have American fighter aircrafts (F-16), Chinese, and Russian. We do not take sides,” he said.The Sukhoi aircrafts purchase will be carried out in stages in accordance with the financial capacity of the state. "We wanted to buy one squadron, but it will be adjusted to the [financial] ability of the government," said Ryamizard.The Former Army Chief of Staff said that in September 2015 there will be the purchase signing of the Sukhoi with the Russian side.

In the same place, the Director General of the Defense Planning Air Vice Marshal M. Syaugi said that the purchase of the new Sukhoi 35 will be through a transfer of technology (ToT) scheme with the Russian side."This is in accordance with existing rules that if we want to buy defense equipment there must be ToT.

India To Blast-Off Indonesia’s First Domestically-Made Satellite Lapan A2
Gizmodo India BureauSep 4, 2015, 02.51 PM IST

India will launch Indonesia's first domestically-made multi-spectral remote sensing satellite Lapan A2/Orari on September 27 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, The Jakarta Post reported.

It is a successor to Lapan A1/Tubsat that was launched in India in 2007. This was made by the experts from National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional, Lapan) and Technical University Berlin (TUB) Germany.

Weighing 78 kilograms, Lapan A2/Orari carries an Automatic Identification System (AIS) to identify the ships in the waters of Indonesia and a video camera with a range three times wider than the Lapan-Tubsat. It will function as a tool to monitor land usage, ship movements, sea resources and fishing explorations.

Besides this, it is also equipped with an automatic packet reporting system on board to aid disaster mitigation by monitoring floods, changes in the sea level as well as movements of the population.

Lapan A2/Orari satellite will orbit the Earth along the equator with an altitude of 650 km and will travel at 7.5 km per second - enabling it to circle 14 times a day.

31 August 2015

Minister of Defence of the Republic of Indonesia Ryamizard Ryacudu received a courtesy call the Ambassador of Colombia to Indonesia HE Mr. Garzon Alfonso Mendez, Monday (31/8) at the Ministry of Defence, Jakarta.

Indonesia's Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said it is looking to deepen defence industrial links with Azerbaijan and Colombia.

In separate statements on 28 and 31 August the MoD said it is planning to expand links with the two countries across a range of defence activities including industrial collaboration.

The MoD indicated that links with Azerbaijan could be centred on imported equipment and technologies related to military training and simulation, while collaboration with Colombia will be framed by a memorandum of understanding, which is being discussed by the two sides.

Given the defence industrial capabilities of Indonesia and Colombia opportunities are likely to focus on naval shipbuilding and land systems.
