Institute of Aeronautics and Space Nano Satellite Launch Soon

Institute of Aeronautics and Space Nano Satellite Launch Soon ; National Aeronautics and Space Institute in 2010 was able to target a satellite into orbit itself. Immediately launched a satellite that is satellite Nano. "Currently we are preparing to mature plans satellite launch rocket orbiter. We may be new satellites will be launched" Nano "with a weight under 10 kilograms," said Lapan Head, Dr. Andiarti Rica Rocket Competition between the implementation of Indonesia 2010 Pandansimo Beach, Bantul, Yogyakarta, Saturday (26 / 6).

According Rica, satellite "nano" can be enabled to monitor air temperature and air kelembabab or simple and small data are adjusted for satellite capacity. "Going forward we are able to target a large satellite into orbit like those used for telecommunications and other purposes," he said.

It is currently performing a variety of test preparation for the orbiter satellite rocket launch, he explained. "Five years into the future we have been able to produce large-sized satellite rocket launchers, so that Indonesia will no longer ask for help other countries to orbit satellites," said Rika.

Security guarantee

Meanwhile, Vice-Dean (Wadek) Faculty of Engineering, University of Gadjah Mada (UGM) in Yogyakarta, Prof.. Dr. Djamasri added, with his own orbit athletes will be more secure national security.

"Currently, Indonesia is still asking for help another country to orbit a satellite, and is a serious problem because the load can be infiltrated rockets and satellites orbiting satellite state interests," he said.

Professor Djamasri say, especially about the rocket aerospace technology is very useful and can be used for various purposes such as disaster mitigation. Aerospace technology is also very supportive to the interests of Indonesia's defense.

"If the Pandansimo Beach, Bantul we are able to make a rocket with a power glide between 3000 up to 5000 kilometers of it will be an even stronger defense and other countries will not be casual," he said
