Mr. Abdul Rahman,
the Head of Ground Segment Division of Aerospace Electronics
Technology Center (AETC) of LAPAN gave the APRSAF details about
the present status of LAPAN-TUBSAT including the ground segments. The Spacecraft Control Center (SCC) of LAPAN has been developed in Rumpin area of Indonesia for monitoring the status of the satellite and the LAPAN also has a plan to develop the ground station in Biak Island near New Guinea Island in order to cover the eastern side of Indonesia. The satellite operators in the Rumpin SCC connected to the ground station in Spitzbergen of North Pole and the TU-Berline ground station can monitor all the LAPAN-TUBSAT passes and its conditions. |
