Indonesia's first autonomous surveillance satellite was successfully launched into orbit and sent the first signals to Earth.
According to the Jakarta Post , the satellite was launched January 10 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center by the Indian Space Research Agency (ISRO). This center is located in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
Lapan-Tubsat satellite - flying above the Earth about 630 km, carrying instrumentation and remote command systems as well as a height control system that allows it to receive various orders from the ground station. The cost of making this satellite is about 10 billion rupiah ($ 1.1 million).
Weighing 57kg, this micro-satellite flies across Indonesia 4 times a day, carrying a high-resolution color camera with a 3.5 km wide coverage area and a low resolution camera with coverage area. 81 km wide. This satellite can be used to monitor the situation on the earth's surface such as forest fires, volcanic activity and floods.
The satellite is designed with a 2-3 year shelf life, however the Indonesian Aeronautics Agency (LAPAN) hopes it will continue to operate for up to 6 years.
