Indonesian Amateur Radio Satellite updateWisnu Widjaja YBØAZ brings the latest news on the two new Indonesian Amateur Radio satellites, LAPAN-ORARI and LAPAN-A2 which are planned to launch in 2011 LAPAN-ORARI 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. It will also carry a green light laser for attitude determination. It is planned to be launched from India into a 650km orbit with low (8 degree) inclination as a secondary payload with "Megha-Tropique". LAPAN-A2 will use S band (non amateur frequency) for video surveillance and the amateur frequency 437.425 MHz for telemetry. Wisnu Widjaja YBØAZ was the responsible operator on the frequency coordination request for the two satellites submitted to the IARU Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination panel which was approved on December 23, 2009. Work on LAPAN-ORARI and LAPAN-A2 satellites is currently at the stage of assembly and testing of components. More information is available on these satellites at So, hopefully this information can be useful for the member of ORARI and amateur radio throughout the world about LAPAN ORARI and LAPAN A2 satellites.
